Re: Machining Discussion-Lathes, Mills, CNC.

Hi all. I am entering the world of lathing parts for my projects. Would it be possible for the lathe users to post some pics of the tool/cutting bits that everyone uses? I am curious on how to make certian shapes (no mill yet). I spoke with Robrex about a few shapes and he says he grinds a bit into the shape he needs and goes from there. Is this what everyone else does? Or am I missing a few of the basics. Thanks and looking forward to seeing some pics.

Mike.
