Our insomniac’s recommendation: The F1 German GP practice sessions on Speed at 3 a.m.
In HIM, Ep 29, “Hand Tools”, the lathe uses a “form tool” not a “knife”, when cutting off and forming the hemisphere on the ends of the handle. It looked like a HSS toolbit with the proper profile ground on the end.
In HIM Ep 42, High-Precision Cutting Tools, the diameter of the end mill shank is checked with an “electronic drop indicator”, not a “micrometer”.
I really need to get a life.
