Here is something I've learned since that video. When you first start with your carbide laying flat on a diamond card, use some pressure, but then as you finish do about a dozen passes with nothing but the weight of your finger on it. It will be a lot sharper that way. Take care, Larry

I just found your channel and I must say, I just started turning myself and just bought my first set of carbide cutters. I now know I do not have to buy a set every time they dull. I will say I am partially blind but I do have very good hearing. I could not tell a difference in the sound between the new cutter and the one you sharpened. I can hear when my high speed steel tools start to dull by ear before I start feeling it in the tool. My bet is your sharpened carbide cutter is just as good if not better than new for sure. I thank you sir for the education and for the future money you just saved me.

Larry, Good videos. I have been watching for a while now and have been making my own carbide cutters for longer than that. Try this, take a small diameter screw about 2 inches long through the hole in any shape cutter, double nut it on the back side and chuck it in a drill press. Mark the surface with a magic marker then carefully lower the spinning cutter to the surface of a diamond sharpening stone with a spot of oil. Works great for me, takes very little time and almost no special or manufactured equipment.

I also turn and mill metal and use inserts to cut all sorts of metal. I use 6 at a time in a single tool. When buying inserts you can buy stronger ones. Carbide isn't a sharp cutter, the edge is ground to a radius - I usually buy 1/32 or 1/64 corner rounding (1/4 round...) It is the finish grade. High speed steel (HSS) is the sharpest. I've used Sapphire for a tough and heat absorbing edge in cutting Rubber and some plastics. The HSS often has cobalt and Molly... Large atoms for strength. I, myself would machine a shaft out of Stainless or buy some nice steel from looking up flex of length... This is a Great concept and Eddie did very well. The insert was sharp and had finer edge than purchased. I know wood workers buy what the vendor sells for the most part. There are many grades and 'toughness' of carbide. In machining it likes to take on more loading in a steel cut than the best HSS cutter. Thanks Eddie - keep them up.

The whole idea behind the angled shoulder at the rear of the mounting surface is to lock in the cutter. By sharpening the edge you make the cross section smaller and smaller. Eventually the cutter will vibrate loose/twist on the mounting screw. If you need to, dress the face of the cutter every day/week instead.

Oh, come on now. About 300 sharpenings it might be a problem. Usually, after about 7 or 8 I get a new one anyway. Take care, Larry.

@@TheWoodWhirler I stand by my post. Ask any tool manufacturer and they will tell you the same. As you are the manufacturer of this item then you have the choice to continue as you see fit. By grinding the radius you compound small set point of the cutter against the locking bevel. Don't get me wrong, I love the work you do and the results speak for themselves. You are an accomplished wood turner. I have had my carbide tools for over 5 years,this is my 2nd set of cutters for all 3. I have only ever dressed the top face. The mounting screw is now proud of the square cutter so it is too thin and time to replace. Versus the 7 sharpenings then replace, you reference, i'll take dressing them. If I need a radius cutter I'll buy the proper tool extension for my shaft and dress the top face as necessary. Safety 1st.. A difference of opinion is not a bad thing.

If they send lapping fluid, use it. Wd-40's surface tension limits the amount of shaprening you can get since the surgface tension holds the edge away from the abrasive. It MAY be OK for turning but for chisels and plane blades it will be a major fail.

Well like anything else, every once in a while you can get a defective one. The only problem I've had with mine was unusual and Grizzly took care of me. The main headstock shaft was out of true. They didn't stock the part because "they" said it was the first time it had happened. It was going to take about three weeks to get it, which didn't make sense for this day and age. You know airplanes and all. I raised hell up the ladder and they took one out of a new machine and sent it to me. About 4 days all together. What ever part they send you, you have to install it yourself unless you will ship the lathe to them. No house calls. I guess the bottom line is that it was corrected and I am happy. No other problems in a year and half. I turn a lot too. I think the Chinese quality has improved on the last few years. Mine is well made, fit and finish is nice. Unless you are willing to spend lots of money, Chinese made is about your only choice. Anything else, let me know, Larry

You can't do the same, really You can never get a carbide cutter sharp; the grain of the material is too coarse; you likely know that.. Scraping has a place in turning, but even that's better with HSS where you can roll a proper burr; carbide is too brittle. Learning to sharpen is part of the craft, and worth it. No disrespect intended, but you turn like a machinist. WD40 is another pointless affliction.
