I saw a thread on here recently about sharpening HSS metal lathe tools.
I recently made a couple of jigs to fit my Tormek 2000 for sharpening these tools. I have found that the fine finish I can get, particularly on thread cutting tools makes a significant difference to the quality of the finish I can achieve on my lathe.
I have tried to upload some images of them but being a computor 'dummy' I have been unsuccessful. If someone could give me an 'idiots guide' on how to do this I would be grateful!
