I stopped at a yardsale during lunch today and while rooting thru misc. boxes look at what I found.

Got all these lathe cutters for 30 bucks, some never used and several unshaped HSS blanks as well. Also found about 10 tungston carbide blanks (didn't know there was such a thing)

I think I got a good deal and had to tell someone that might understand what this stuff was. I was really needing some cutters, I haven't been playing with my LTD because I was cutter poor.

Nice find Trilect,

Not cutter poor anymore :D

Now you will need to spend some time grinding your favorite cutter profiles.

Yeah, now you can spend that $2K on the diamond wheeled dresser....*smile*...

I've only got a standard bench grinder, I hope that will do well enough.

By the way I found a few blanks labled tantung g. Its non magnetic. Is that something special that I should hold onto until a time that I know how to grind tools properly?
