Dorian threading toolholder unit

http://industrydepot.com/DorianToolToolHolders.htm I parsed this link to avoid hotlinking so you'll have to copy and paste.

If you scroll down the page you'll see the #881. It appears to come with the OD cartridge/insert holder. The bxa style holder is $120.58 and the bar is $91.30. Just wondering what you fellas think of this set up.

The #36 5c collet holder at the bottom of the page is $140.86, would it be handy?

Cheers,
Rob

I busted the tip of my solid carbide threading bar I made when I tried... something stupid , it was sweet too.

If you are thinking about the On Edge insert model I'd recommend a TPMC-32NV insert instead of the TNMC-32NV they show. This will give you a 5 degree positive rake cutting edge which does much better on barrel steel.

I second what Jerry said. You'll get a better finish.

Thank you gentlemen. I'm not sure if I'll buy it or not considering I have a nice Kennametal holder for OD threading already and I'm still on the first point of the original bit. After screwing my threading/boring bar I was looking around for another and wondered if this might do the trick.

Cheers,
