How do I sharpen TCT turning tools

[MickCheese]

Hi

Very new to turning and have a set of TCT small turning tools from Axminster.

Should I do anything special to sharpen them?

You will need a either:
1. A green grit grinding wheel
2. A diamond coated wheel
3. A Cubic boron Nitride coated wheel.


Dependant on the form of the tips you may be able to use a diamomd coated plate or card to refresh the edge.

Thanks for the reply.

I will give the plate a try first.
