I have done some turning way back.. I know what these bits are and can visualise them 30 years on and know what and why. Somebody been "casual" with a hammer again have they to cause a need for regrinding? I remember we had very similar pair of Myfords at school.. College used much larger turret and whatnot. I wasn't very interested when I was 16, and after a year turning out the same spindles day in day ouit on piecework I was more than happy to see the back of a lathe and an engineering works and go off to be a film maker... and ended up somewhere that is still to this day quite hard to completely get my head around 
Thanks for such a clear explaination
