Hey All!
So I was gifted a HF mini lathe (Central Machinery 10"x 18") at the beginning of the pandemic in the effort to maintain some sanity and keep my hands on materials, but I am a complete novice. Barry at Klingspor's Winston was kind enough to reshape and sharpen my tools for me as I do not have the proper sharpening equipment and I was off. A few candle sticks later and the bug was implanted. But now my cheap tools are dull and though Barry set a good price for sharpening, I need to get in order to do it myself.
I have a grinder but need to know what wheels to get on a relatively limited budget to keep a good edge on these tools. That's to start.
I am also wondering what parts and bits I need to take the leap into bowl turning as I can only turn spindles ATM.
All recs welcome - Looking forward to hearing from the turners here!
Thanks All!
