   Perhaps ... IF one has has a toolpost grinder for
the lathe in question.  ;)

My Scottish solution:   Remove tool post, bolt cheap grinder to carriage.  Works great, costs virtually nothing.

 Or poor boy solution.......Buy a cheap "Harbor Freight" socket that will be
soft enough to machine with a standard or carbide tool ....... Worth a try !!
