Helpful Info:

A concave/radius turning attachment is a specialized tool that is used to turn a concave (curved inward) or convex (curved outward) surface on a lathe machine. This attachment is typically used to create a variety of shapes on the surface of the workpiece, such as grooves, curves, and rounded edges.

To use a concave/radius turning attachment with 2 x NR carbide inserts, you should follow the steps below:

1. Mount the attachment: Start by mounting the concave/radius turning attachment to the lathe machine. This can usually be done by attaching the attachment to the tool post of the lathe.

2. Insert the carbide inserts: Once the attachment is mounted, insert the two NR carbide inserts into the slots on the attachment. Make sure they are securely in place.

3. Adjust the height: Adjust the height of the attachment so that the inserts are level with the centreline of the workpiece. This will ensure that the tool is cutting evenly across the surface.

4. Set the radius: Set the radius of the attachment to the desired size. This can usually be done by adjusting the position of the attachment on the lathe or by using a special radius setting tool.

5. Start the lathe: Turn on the lathe machine and slowly bring the attachment into contact with the workpiece.

6. Make the cut: Once the attachment is in contact with the workpiece, slowly move it along the surface to create the desired shape. Keep the cutting speed low and take your time to ensure a smooth cut.

7. Check the results: After making the cut, check the surface of the workpiece to make sure it has the desired shape and finish. If necessary, make any adjustments and repeat the process until the desired result is achieved.

It's important to note that using a concave/radius turning attachment with carbide inserts requires some skill and experience. If you are new to using this type of tool, it's a good idea to practice on scrap material before working on a project.
