Has anyone tried freehand grinding of lathe bits (those with inserts

I tried it with simple bits and it seems to work well, but maybe I am
missing some finer points of grinding.


Generally diamond wheels at high speed and steel do not go together. The steel has an
affinity for carbon which is what a diamond wheel is. Still, from hanging out on the
Quorn groups and such, I see that people use diamond wheels on HSS.

CBN is the wheel for steel afaikt.
