Try going through all the MIT intro so the significance of the angles
actually means something to you.

Sherline doesn't cover the terms much but has some basic info on grinding
your own bits he

If you really want to get into details, consider picking up a copy of
"Design and Use of Cutting Tools" by Leo J. St. Clair and published by
McGraw-Hill. It has nearly 400 pages on the subject with more diagrams than
you can shake a stick at.

Machinery's Handbook has descriptions of these and a few other pages of
useful information. I picked mine out of a discard pile at a library,
but you can buy them in many different places.
