Re: HSS vs TCT

Ahh, thanks John, pointing me in the right direction. But no mention of
kippers?

Jim, do the carbon tools give a better finish than the HSS then? Don't
they need to be sharpened more often?

Thanks for the link & suggestion of the Hemmingway grinder guys, but
seriously, I don't intend to pay that much for my next car!

I've seen a pic of a metal template that is made with the front, side
etc. clearance angles, on each side. Does anyone use one of these for
free-hand grinding?

Cheers for all the replies!


One thing about HHs bookes: at the beginning of 'Lathe Work' he
mentions a fully adjustable grinding fixture as being essential
workshop equipment, but then gives instructions for making one at the
end of the next book 'Milling - complete course'. Er, how do I get from
here (start of Lathes) to there (end of Milling) without one?


Read the last chapter first.
