Tool Geometries For Lathe & Mill Explained - Great Video Tutorial

I think Rich has the best advice for starting out with the set from Amazon. And the size will work fine on your lathe. Just be sure to shim tools true centerline. I have no trouble hand grinding carbide or Hss tools. If you look at my avatar I hand ground the tools to form the balls inside the cube. The Amazon set also comes with the threading inserts and cutoff tool inserts. I'm an old guy that has been grinding tools for over 60 years.

Hi Jim


Thanks for the advice - what I am doing is a combination - I have secured some HSS and am working on the grinding end - also have ordered some insert tools - so I have benchmark to compare and also experiment with (in terms of depth of cut, feed rate and angle of approach. The new lathe is scheduled for delivery tomorrow morning - so then let the games begin.
