The construction is fairly obvious but there is one nuance. One of the cutters is set 0.005" lower than the other and on a slightly smaller cutting radius. Thus it performs a finish pass right behind the main cutter which removes the bulk of the material.= "Pin It")

Marv, I like your design with the two stage cutting and also being able to use more conventionally ground lathe cutting tools, thanks, Paul Jones
