Basic tool grinding question
Once in a while even a blind hog roots up an acorn and so did I last
week. I was in Louisville, Ky and found a really good deal on my first lathe, a Jet mini-lathe. I have been reading about how you need a jig to assist in grinding bevels on the turning tools and have just about decided to buy Penn State's version of the Wolverine jig. I picked up a Richard Raffan video at the library and noticed that he only uses a tool rest, not a jig. Is he able to do that simply because he has been doing it a long time, or is a jig really not necessary? Dick Durbin Tallahassee |
