[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1469856, member: 2736"] No one ? In an earlier post on contouring, the finish came into play and we talked about the use of abrasives to finish the barrels. As stated, i don't like to use abrasives on my lathe to get a finished look on a barrel. I saw this Video a while back, and tried grinding a tool this way and got ok results but not any better than the High speed tools I ground for this operation. [MEDIA=youtube]Ta5F3WC-gPo[/MEDIA] It realy works on softer metals so I was hopping that someone could share some tricks to grinding the shear tools. This is not a production process so it is not used in a production shop as far as I know. In most of the high end machine shops, abrasives are forbidden because of the multi million CNC Machines and its effects of them. I will keep on slugging along and try to perfect this type of lathe tool in search for a better finish without abrasives. Any suggestions are welcome. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
