Re: Hand-sharpening drill bits
If look the rake angle of a drill bit and use the same angle for lathe turn bits. Most metals like A36 will cut like butter.
Do not try this with brass it will pull tool bit into the material

Re: Slightly off topic, How to set tapered roller bearing preload
Unless the lathe has had a bearing upgrade, it comes with deep groove ball bearings, not tapered roller bearings. In either case, bearing preload does have to be set. Here's the SKF document, a Google

Re: Slightly off topic, How to set tapered roller bearing preload
One of the great virtues of tapered roller bearings is stiffness. This is

under load. The greater the preload the stiffer the

Re: Slightly off topic, How to set tapered roller bearing preload
If adjusting a mini lathe spindle bearings it on subject.
FYI Some locations the taper roller bearings do not need per load.
They need a little room to grow as it heats up.? Typically it is 0.000,5
