Yea definitely try to stay on the work smarter , not harder gang . I have several grinders & a few belt sanders .all setup with different gritt's, I use my 6x48 belt sander almost exclusively , it

HSS is high speed steel. Harder and tougher than High Carbon Tool Steels, but doesn't take as good an edge. You remember correctly on HSS replacing HCTS for a lot of uses, and about when, too.? Alox

By HHS, do you mean High Carbon Steel, High Speed Steel, or something else? If it's HCS, you're right in that the pink or white AlOx stones are preferred, although you can go coarser than 80 grit.?

If you go to Alisam.com, they have the South Bend sharpening tool that Mr. Pete shows. They also have the SN angle gauge. If you want a copy of the Atlas Lathe Book, email me and we can discuss what

A big thanks to everyone.? Including all replies here rather than trying to go down through the list.? I hope everyone is OK with that! I should have mentioned I do plan on using/learning to grind

For sharpening HHS bits you should use a pink vitrified stone 80grit will remove the steel quick enough. The pink will wear but that only gets you too sharper grit. 120 is to fine and slow to get

I have actually sharpened the cheap brazed carbide tools. With an Alox wheel. When I bought the HF mini-lathe, I bought the sets of brazed tools they had. Noticed that the "cutting edge" was not

Grinding your own cutters will teach you a lot about different clearance and rake angles, chipbreaker grooves, form tools, etc.? I think that over many years I have only bought a box or two of new

Maybe I'm misinterpreting something, but are you saying that Tractor Supply carries smokeless or black powder or other reloading items?? I've never seen anything like it in the Maine stores.

Hi Lee, I have a similar set,? I think you'll find that some of those for larger tooling are? a little overkill for these machines. I just about only use 3/8? and 1/4"? HSS bits.? If you use

Ain't that the truth. I used Clausing Colchester lathes in my class, a few years ago. Teaching machines, so sort of bottom edge af real industrial lathes. The small one, a 13" lathe, weighed 2700# and

Get a copy(reprint) of the Atlas manual and some HHS cutter bits. Learn to grind the HHS bits. Use them and resharpen. You could get carbide tips but you are NOT ready to use them at this point.

Don’t know where you’re at, but here in Tulsa, Oklahoma we have a distributor by the name of “The Rule Company” and I’ve yet to stump them with anything I’ve needed. Hope ya find someone.

What jmartin said. Start there, then once you know what to do with your machine. You can branch out to carbide insert tooling.? Bill in OKC? William R. Meyers, MSgt, USAF(Ret.) Aphorisms to live

Another vote here for HSS bits and learning to grind them. There are of course always exceptions, but in general carbide does best with high speeds and heavy cuts to get a good finish. With HHS you
