Zero rake lathe tool holders are not common here and very difficult to

While zero rake is normal..they will run nicely with a bit of positive
rake, as long as you grind some relief. Hell..they will run with
negative relief if the machine is stout enough.

in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are
not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
