sharpening lathe tools
I learned alot about sharpening my lathe tools by buying a CD-rom from the Lee valley tools web site. The CD goes over sharpening many types of knives, chisels , wood turning tools etc.
I use two wet stones for the skew : 800 & 4000 and a jig they sell at Lee valley. The inside edge of my gouges is sharpened with a dowel with 320 wet sand paper rapped around it. The machined outside edge of the gouges is sharpened on the 1 inch Delta belt sander with a 320 grit belt.
What a difference how easy the tools worked after I sharpened my lathe tools with these principals from the CD-ROM ! The CD_ROM only cost about $ 15.00
