lathe bits

[bronson]

Hi everyone this is a great site i check it every day. I have been machining for a while but don't get much time at it i have a young girl and another on the way. I was hoping that some of you could post pics of the hss lathe bits that you use for alu and brass so that i could see the different ways that some of you grind your bits. Thanks.

Hi Bronson,

In one of my posts there is a spreadsheet attachment that covers required tool geometry with HSS

You'll find it in the thread above....

I have twins so I can understand..... ;D

Thanks for the quick reply i just wanted to see some of the different tools that you guys use. I was lucky enough to get a handful of tools from a retired machinist and they work really good.
