Stu posted a pointer to a video he did on sharpening lathe tools. This led me to wondering if there's a book similar to Leonard Lee's sharpening book on how to sharpen lathe tools. Lee's book goes into the theory of how an edge cuts and what you have to do to create a good edge.
I'd like to find something like that for lathe tools. Something that described the sharpening of the different tools and the tradeoffs of different angles, etc. I don't want something that goes into the mechanics of grinding - I want something that tells me what shape to grind for different tools and applications.
I DO NOT want a video. In general, I find that I learn much better from a printed page.
If anyone has a recommendation, I'd very much appreciate it. Thanks!!
