I have just bought, (Finally!) a wee grinding wheel so I can now re-grind my lathe tools, as per grandad and Tubal Cain's way of doing it. Has anyone got experience, as myself, on the 'Ken Keeling's half-moon facing tool' ? The first thing I re-ground, and the facing surface, even though I am very rusty, is somewhat amazing! 10 degrees and half moon… ML7… Wow! Even I'm impressed!

Hi Kris,
I (And I'm sure many others) am prepared to show you how to grind lathe tools if you live close enough to visit me. You can find my location from my profile.

Les.
