Are there any good sources on the web on how to sharpen lathe tools? Seeing
that I am scraping a lot more than I am cutting I will be sharpening half
the time. If you have any jig setup sites that would be great too.

Show you some of the variety of grinds out there. I don't think any of them
is any better than the other - nor any worse. What you measure your cut by
is not the grind, but the shaving.

I keep threatening to upgrade this page, but it should help to fix up a jig
in a hurry and get to sharpening and turning.

This did not load (in Firefox nor IE). I have Acrobat Reader 6.

This looks like a great jig (isn't this rather expensive?). I was
thinking about making a few sharpening jigs for my turning tools.

Try:

http://www.turningtools.co.uk/

Then go to 'Widgets/Gizmos' 'A Sharpening System'

It is a pretty slick jig and also has a good explanation on use,
including a long grind on a gouge. Not that it is homebuilt and would be
*really* inexpensive.

Remember it is in AUS$ not US$ so it is cheaper than that AND it does
lengthen the life of your tools as they only require touch ups not regrinds.

Hi Buck

I would agree with what George said, saw the wood tapered, then use the
skew to turn it round.
KISS is still the best way to do things, less chances to screw up, and
less time wasted.
Only if you are going to make a lot of these would I invest in any other
production methods.

Have fun and take care
