Good to see you here and be here.  Darn, been thinking about making something like this for a couple of years.  Now you've pushed me over the edge to actually do it.  I have a little box full of broken carbide bits and such like that i hope to grind to shape and use as lathe tool bits.  In addition to the commercial ones with mounting holes, similar to the helical planer carbide teeth.  

Well done. 

Huh? Whadaya mean it ain't "measure once cut twice"?
