That needle looks pretty good , I didn’t think about the grinder, it’s nice when when you have a soft stone to finish the angle with, should be fairly straight. Did you get any ground tool bits when you purchased your lathe? You can buy the high-speed square tool bit blanks in various sizes, to make just about any cutter you need. if I remember correctly when you are using a grinder on the lathe, the spindles turning should turn opposite each other, so the grinding wheel won’t dig into piece part. Not as sharp as I used to be 76 years young today. Still enjoy playing with this stuff.
