      I would like to hear some experience from others with these two trademarks. I already have a Q-kit from Greenwood that i’m satisfied with, and would like to invest in some more indexable tools.
      I could be tempted to buy some Glanze tools because they are much cheaper, but maybe it was better to invest a little more and buy from Greenwoods.

          The Glanze toolholders are OK but I would stick to Greenwood for tips. I have bought from both companies.  Glanze (made in India) is marketed by Chronos of course.

            If you want to try a superior tip try Sumotoyo from carterprecisiontools.co.uk.
            I have no connection with the company but have been using these tips for 15 years and wouldn’t  touch anything else.

              It’s nice with a second opinion. I think the inserts from Greenwood comes from Sandvik a swedish company with high respect.

                Hi
                 
                I bought some Glanze tools from Chronos some time ago, they take the TCMT 11 series tips. I have used both Sandvik and Kenametal tips and have found both these cut well producing a good finish on most materials. If you look at the Sandvik catalogue, available on line at Sandvik, they recommend various types and grades for different materials. That said I have not followed their recommendations, cost and having to hold many different tips, and found that they all seem to cut very well whether roughing or fine cutting. I have however bought various tip sizes ranging from 0.2mm, 0.4mm and 0.8mm in order to meet specific requirements of some jobs.
                 
                Generally I have been very satisfied with the results but still use HSS tools and solid carbide depending on circumstances. I initially found that turning with insert tools took a little bit of getting used to but varying the speed and cut depth soon overcame these problems.
                 
                Hope this ramble helps .
                 
                Cheers
