Sorry, this isn't exactly a direct gunsmithing question, but what I'm working on is gun related
The short story is I inherited a 1966 South Bend 16x60 lathe when my father died 10 years ago, my lathe skill is novice, and my tool grinding skill is zero.
It looks similar to this, but a slightly larger model:
I've got a few cutting tools for it, but some are dull, some are broken, and none are the shape I need.
I've got some blanks labeled 10% cobalt, but not sure what I need to cut them with.
Is there a wheel I could get for an 8" grinder that would work for this?
I tried doing some google searches, but the descriptions of all the different type of grinding materials was very detailed in what it's made of, not much help for what it's made for.
Of coarse a lot of them are not made for a home shop level bench grinder.
Thanks
