JB Tools make an excellent range of tool holders for indexable inserts, they also supply good inserts. CCMT06 inserts mounted on the right size for you lathe is a good start.

I’ve been quite happy with the Glanze ones from Chronos and a couple from Greenwood tools, only one I bought from JB the insert was a loose fit in the holder so moved slightly on the screw.

 

J&L do a good range of inserts and like KWIL it stick mostly to the CCMT06 size/shape.
