Lathe tools too high

NickG:
Actually, It'll be easier to take the metal off with your tungsten tool as only the tip will be tungsten - brazed on. Puting in the tool post with a milling cutter or fly cutter in the chuck means you'll be able to get the bottom of the tool nice and flat, otherwise it'd be all over the place. Yes I believe you can get green grinding discs for your bench grinder for that. Somebody on here said they found some of those cheap diamond discs for dremmels though which worked very well as you should onlyneed to take a tiny skim off the tungsten tip.

Hope this helps.
