[@jamesnicholson3313]

Very interesting and informative many thanks.

I use a similar method for making my cutters out of HSS

[@mctavishmcardle6906]

have you tried using the presplit carbide blanks, from mcmaster? a bit more expensive, but it might save you some grinding time

[@RichColvin]

McTavish, I have not. They sound like a good idea. Carbide is hard to grind!

[@RichColvin]

I know some McArdles in Ireland. You related to them?
