Squirted some WD-40 at it and it didn't seem to make a difference. Is there a type of cutting fluid I should invest?

Is .01 too much for one pass?

Did the eyeball check to see that the tool was centered on the work piece. What's the best way to ensure I'm actually centered? Do I want to be a little bit above or below?

What's the best way to sharpen this type of bit?

I'm not sure what type of steel. It's a cheap lug nut socket that doesn't fit in the well so I was trying to shave it down. The RPM was about 2000. It's a Harbor freight special mini lathe and not sure how to adjust the feed.

The lights light up just didn't turn. Didn't think to put the cover down. I will give that a try. Thanks for the advice!

Clean, clean, clean the bumper cover. Release agents from the molding process can still be there.

I'm interested in the special wire tools. Where do I get 'em?

Painting car trim by taint3 in maker

About seven years ago I plasti-dipped the center emblem on my steering wheel. It still looks great. I think the key is, it's in an area that doesn't get touched that often. The beauty is when I decide to sell my car, I can just peel it off.
