Also, take a look at Mikey's thread here: https://www.hobby-machinist.com/threads/how-to-grind-a-hss-turning-tool.52581/ Mikey, who we lost last year, has several threads on grinding HSS tools. He clearly spent a lot of time learning, thinking, and experimenting and did us a great service by writing it down. He will be missed.

Boy, that takes a lot of the mystery out of it. What a well written piece.

For anyone that can’t just run down to the local metal supplier here’s a source I’ve bought from. Shipping is fast and reasonably priced and the price of the products seems reasonable for small quantities. I’ve bought the packages of 12L14 and 6061 round stock, some individual drill rod and some pieces of 1018 flat bar from them. The website takes a little patience to navigate. The packages tend to be on the last pages of the sections. https://hobbymetalkits.com/
