Careful Bill,

On this ng, KISS is an inappropriate attitude toward sharpening. It's
not simply about the importance of using sharp tools; it's being earnest
about special sharpening equipment and complicated methods.

Those not cognitively deprived place their lathe just behind the
sharpening center. Makes it convenient to turn around to the lathe
briefly and quickly return to the edge production centre. Ain't their
bevels handsome?

The rest of us sharpen turning tools any way that works. Our crass
offhand methods do leave ugly bevels with strange facets that don't even
know they can't cut.

TIC, 'G' & Arch

Fortiter,
