Re: Sharpness...

Thanks for all the help/advice guys.

MPWR - I actually have a set of those diamond lapping tools (the exact same ones in the picture).... I'll dig em out and put them with me 'machining' stuff...!!


cingster - Thanks for the offer. I have a few books and some info on grinding lathe bits already. What I'm really struggling with is how to actually grind that specific angle (which it looks like you can identify with). Even if there was a jig, I assume it would have to sit on the rest, which assumes that it was pre-set at some angle already (90 deg?). I just don't know how to measure/set that angle. Maybe it's just not that critical???

Thanks guys.

Murray
