You will need to buy a grinding stone and a bench grinder for sharpening, if you haven't already. You need a special stone for the harness of the cutters. Your grinding disk idea is not bad, just take the disk and run a bolt and nut through the centre of the disk to hold it. Then clamp the bolt in your tool holder, spin the lathe as fast as it will go and slowly push the disk into the shaft. This is certainly not a standard idea, but us rookie machinists have creative licence to do this. :-)</span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv5819423686yui_3_16_0_1_1444732928209_3794"><span>Hank</span></div> <br clear="none"><div class="yiv5819423686qtdSeparateBR" id="yiv5819423686yui_3_16_0_1_1444763584944_7330"><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><div class="yiv5819423686yahoo_quoted" id="yiv5819423686yui_3_16_0_1_1444763584944_7322" style="display:block;"> <div id="yiv5819423686yui_3_16_0_1_1444763584944_7321" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"> <div id="yiv5819423686yui_3_16_0_1_1444763584944_7320" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"> <div class="yiv5819423686qtdSeparateBR" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1444774554320_4082"><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><div class="yiv5819423686yqt1207779075" id="yiv5819423686yqt62261"><div dir="ltr" id="yiv5819423686yui_3_16_0_1_1444763584944_7375"> <font id="yiv5819423686yui_3_16_0_1_1444763584944_7374" size="2" face="Arial"> On Tuesday, October 13, 2015 1:10 AM, Alan James via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<br clear="none"> </font> </div> <br clear="none"><br clear="none"> <div class="yiv5819423686y_msg_container" id="yiv5819423686yui_3_16_0_1_1444763584944_7319"><div id="yiv5819423686"><div id="yiv5819423686yui_3_16_0_1_1444763584944_7329"><div id="yiv5819423686yui_3_16_0_1_1444763584944_7328" style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"><div id="yiv5819423686yui_3_16_0_1_1444719036288_2505">Hi, </div><div id="yiv5819423686yui_3_16_0_1_1444719036288_2505">I need to cut a few external circlip grooves in stainless 316 rod.</div><div id="yiv5819423686yui_3_16_0_1_1444719036288_2505">One is 1.1mm wide (3/64") & the other .7mm (1/32") wide.
