Hello All,
Hope someone will be kind enough to educate me about a set of tool bits that was included with the 7x14 mini-lathe that I bought in a govt surplus auction. This is my first lathe and I am looking forward to making some ('swarf' ?).
THere are 11 tool-bits and it looks like the set that Micro-Mark sells. Each bit has a stamped number.
I have uploaded a picture that I hope will show up in this post.
I think I have identified three of the bits from reading various on-line beginners lathe operations articles:
#4971 = right-hand turning ?
#4975 = thread cutting ?
#4981 = cut-off tool ?
Thanks for the help !
