Dudley,
I'm an old machinist turned cutting tool salesman myself. We had single image photos of these processes in the old days and they looked very similar. What you and I know is that it would be even more fascinating if we could get comparative photography while imposing the many variables that will change the picture such as: sfm, chip width, face geometry, etc.
I sold carbide cutting tools back in the 60's. Before that I was a route salesman for a saw company outside of Los Angeles.
In those days almost every bowling alley had a pool room in it and many of them had snooker tables where they played golf, my game of choice in those days. When I found a place with some golf action, I would arrange my schedule so I could spend a few hours playing one day a week.
Turns out the only player who ever beat me was a guy named Chico at Gage Bowl, just a couple miles from my work. He ran six and out on those loose bowling alley 5 x 10's the first game we played for $10/1. I put a move on him and jacked the bet to $20/2. He beat me for $300. The move did not work.
