I picked up a tooling package from "Little Machine Shop" includes the 3/8" carbide tool inserts. TCMT 21.51 style inserts. I've watched videos, read several chapters on HSS tool grinding and I just can't seem to do it right. I've also broke several carbide inserts or chipped them I should say. What am I doing wrong? Am I trying to take too big of a bite? Embarrassed about the HSS tool grinding. Using a bench grinder and am dressing the wheel. I also have a belt/disc sander. Most if not all my cuts look like Ray Charles was using a beaver to turn down the steel. I've only really made 2 weld in bungs for mounting a gas tank on my motorcycle. I've had this a little over 6 weeks and obviously getting frustrated and somewhat discouraged. HELP! HELP!! HELP!!!
