hello all. this is my first post so bare with me if I have repeated
what has been asked before.
I have a Herbert no 5 preoptive lathe with many accessories.
I have figured out the die-heads and have had good results. now I am
needing some help on the box tool heads. can some one give me the setup
procedure for these and also the tool sharpening angles as these look
quite different from the norm. plus most of my tooling uses inserts so
grinding is relatively new to me.

Ron,

While not specific to Herbert, there is a wealth of information on a
variety of screw machine and turret lathe type tooling he
