Shear tools for lathe work.

[Canobi]

Yay! Thanks to your post showing shear tool geometry, I've realised I didn't balls up my first attempt at grinding a right hand turning tool, I was in fact making a shear tool without knowing it. Just as well as it was crap at being right hand turning tool but I kept it as a reminder. And to think, all this time I've been striving for a smoonth finish on my work and all I had to do was rotate the bit 90° in the holder
