Can anyone please give me a sketch or photos of the correct way to grind a boring bar HSS tool bit.
I have a bit working with a relief angle on the front cutting face and two angles on the end to give relief away from the job wall in the two directions . However I am unsure if I have got the best geometry.

I had another member PM me asking for the info that I had sent Retromilling.I am sorry about not putting it up here, as I thought it was to big of a file to put on the forum, I have looked it up on the internet and have found the link to it, as I only had it on my computer as a file.

Thanks Dave . The grind is the same as a lefthand tool . Mine is similar but not exactly right.
