Can anyone tell me what the appropriate angle from horiz. the body of
the cutter needs to be (assuming a standard carbide lathe cutting
tool)?

Thanks

Forgive the presumption, but if you are asking about angles, you will probably
be happier with HSS for fly cutting.  By definition, this is an interrupted 
cut, and you may get chipping with carbide.
