Home Made Tool And Cutter Grinder

[coffmajt]

I know that this is a rather old post, but what is the verdict on this setup. I would like to have a tool grinder and I think building this would be great at increasing my understanding how this works. Are the plans worth the $50?

Edit....Looks like there are downloadable plans readily available for the "Bonelle" tool grinder. Just downloaded some that were produced by "J. Willis". Ahh, another item on my project list.

$50 Australian is approximately $36 US so for 120 pages of drawings I thought it was fair. Tool is very useful if you already have a grinder you can use. Let me know if I can help you with questions. Jack

Very nice. Did you run into any problems with spindle endplay on the grinder?

Also, is that a e36 peeking out?

Great project and workmanship. Quite a bit advanced for my skill and equipment but inspires one to keep on learning and trying. Thanx for showing us your excellent work.

I'm happy to help if you decide to go forward. Just finished sharpening 10 cutters this morning on mine. Jack
