 The main agenda item was a discussion by Barry Uden - lathe tool angle sharpening, tool grinding and finish cuts. Barry demonstrated how he sharpens on a
grinder with the CBN wheels for shaping the gauge and then maintaining the sharpness with the Tormek slow speed wet grind.
Barry also demonstrated his finish cuts on a wood bowl. He uses multiple bowl gauges, always using a sharp one. Honing on a gauge does assist in the process.
Using a negative rake scraper he is able to achieve a very smooth wood surface prior to sanding. Peter Pipe added some instructions on the sharpening and use of the skew.
