It's two carbide tipped tool bits I bought from Amazon (only $3 each) and mounted back to back in a tool holder. This allows me to switch from turning to facing extremely quickly and easily. The turning bit will get a lot more use, so when it starts to dull I'll just switch the two.
why not just resharpen the tool? Eventually it will be a necessity anyway. Else send me all your "dull" tools. Just a little touch up on a hand held oil stone works wonders. Usually don't even need to remove from the tool holder.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your electronic information. As an old electrician and manual machine operator the electrical revamps fascinate me!
The biggest reason I don't it because I've never had luck resharpening carbide tipped tools. It usually either takes me forever or I end up chipping the carbide. Considering how long they last me and how cheap they are, I just buy new ones.
