Well George, I wrote a fair number of lines detailing exactly why your
analogy was incorrect, and tried to do so in a sincere and polite
manner. In the end, the turners out there can read both and make their
own judgment.

I've seen this analogy before, and while it may seem to offer simple
wisdom, it really isn't a proper representation of the geometry involved
with turning tools.


Oh, yeah, you're incorrect.
