1. When threading most N. American woods, do HSS cutters give a better cut than carbide?
2. If so, Is it significant enough to offset its shorter lifespan?
3. Does a larger diameter cutting head make cleaner cuts? A 3/8" or 1/2" shank will work for me. All internal diameters will be at or greater than 1 1/4".
4. Who sells a good cutter at a reasonable price?
Since I only want to buy one cutter, I greatly appreciate all input.
thanks,
Terry
