CUTTING LIP ANGLES & TOOL HEIGHT FOR TURNING & FACING OPERATIONS WHEN MACHINING WITH AN ENGINE LATHE

Cutting edge or cutting lip positioning for turning and facing on a metal lathe is a complex subject since so many variables come into play. This video introduces the basic notions that should guide the home or novice machinist when using hand sharpened tools that quite naturally don't come with any specks describing their proper installation. This video is part of a free online machine shop course accessible to everyone on my webpage THATLAZYMACHINIST.COM . No sign up, no subscription and no hassle, it's all free and always will be. As for all of my machine shop videos, this video is specifically produced for novice machinists. Thanks for understanding that I am a professional toolmaker and teacher but I am not a professional video producer (and it shows). I produce these videos for fun as a little retirement project that lets me give back a little of what was passed on to me by so many amazing trades people, most of whom, sadly, are no longer with us.
