HF 7x10 metal lathe

[jack barnes]

I finally got around to messing around with it. I don't know a thing about metal lathes. Let me tell you it is a real kick in the A$$. I turned a slim line out of aluminum. Could some of you that grind, you own cutting tools out of HSS take and send me some pictures of how you grind them or post them here? I'm having a hard time visualizing how there ground.
