My lathe isn't powerful enough for me to want to do much with carbide, but I received a lot of carbide bits (as well as HSS) and there are a couple that seem like they would be great for specific uses, such as threading and boring (and internal threading), but only if I shape them correctly first. I have diamond sharpening "stones" that will work for honing, but would my black silicon carbide wheels work for shaping? How much difference is there between black & green silicon carbide wheels?...
