I've had some success grinding my own HSS lathe tools. But, I want to get better and I don't want to use inserts (yet). Some of my problem is with the cheesy, wobbly tool rest on an otherwise good bench grinder. The second issue is just being able to keep a steady hand.
I wonder if anyone makes, or has plans for, a rest for grinding lathe tools. I've been thinking about making one. It doesn't need to be bolted to the bench grinder as long as both the rest and grinder are bolted to the bench. My thinking is along the lines of a miniature version of the slide used on a table saw for pushing wood past the blade.
Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.
