I recieved a lot of cuped carbide from my brother in law. They were designed for metal and were brand new. They did not work very well untill I sharpened them Used a cbn wheel and sharpened the outside. After that i can use them inside or outside. I use them mostly on open segmented corian bowls and vases. I make my last cuts with high speed steel. Dulls the tool very quickly but still leaves me with a better cut. Sand to 3000 and polish with a car polish. Not wax but a polish

What do you use for glue for the corian?

I use thin ca for all of my corian glue ups. Works great. I als use it to glue the base to wood mounted in either a face plate or an appropriate sized piece to use in my chuck. I have never had a glue failure with the ca.

Me personally I like the cupped carbide but can not find any at a reasonable price.
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification. Thank You Everyone.
It is always the right time, to do the right thing.
