Hi,
I am a newbie turner.
I have a cheap set of lathe tools, but I am pretty good
at knifemaking and sharpening.
I have used my diamond stone to polish my 1/8" parting tool.
I did not change the profile, but merely put a mirror finish on it.
It still does not cut very well at all. I lost my digital cam in a recent divorce
so I can not show a pic of it. I have searched the net for images of the geometry for a sharp parting tool. Does anyone have a closeup pic or hand dwg of the geometry of the cutting edge ?
Thanks
Mike
