This size goes well with the standard quick change holders for my 7x14 mini lathe. Holders at .050" " (1.27mm), which is close enough to 1/16" (0.0625") that you can choose the 1/4" version here https://www.amazon.com/Accusize -Industrial- Tools-Mgehr04- 2-2387-0001ins/dp/B083QQ17WQ/ It might work a bit better in some settings as the cutting edge is supported directly (although it's probably very hard to tell the difference I suppose) .and trim and the clamp screw fits my 3mm hex wrench well.This is the same size as the set screws that clamp the tool into the holder which makes the job more convenient.Exchanging or flipping bits is simple and easy Also see Laura's excellent review of the 1/4" x 3/8" version, especially details to the supplied "starter" inserts. Because the cutting edge protrudes about 1-1/16" from the holder even when fully inserted, the maximum diameter you can use with sealant at the 90° position (my usual setup) is about 1". . To get more, you need to rotate the link 90° counterclockwise from that position, or otherwise compensate the link with angle and position. Finally, I'm not sure if such a milling cutter makes sense for a mini lathe, I think it's the same result that Laura came to in her test report. The power available just isn't enough to drive through hard materials, so go for carbide for starters. I suppose if you couldn't reliably sharpen an HSS cut-off tool this would be the way to go, but the edge radius of carbide inserts (especially coated ones) will work against you. I'm sure I'll find a use for it, but I think it's going to be difficult to find situations where it's better than a freshly cut HSS shatterblade, which has a much sharper edge and is considerably narrower.
