At work we use Kenametal Holders. Normally Mitsubushi Rep's come out and pretty much tell us what tooling to use. CNMG is the style insert we use. But thats for CNC related machining.

For the manual stuff at school, we have HSS boring bars we bought in a 9 pack from MSC or Enco. TBH, if you just call MSC or a tooling rep, they'll tell ya what you need and sometimes they'll even donate it.

Gearbox Plates are 6061 - T6 and they pocket them.

They mount the encoder on one of the wheel shafts.
