I have a KMG 2 x 72 belt grinder. I bought my base grinder from Beaumont Tool Works and then fabricated the stand and put together the drive. This is one of my favorite machines in my shop and it gets used almost daily for something when I am in the shop. I grind my own HSS lathe bits for special tasks and use the belt grinder for some steps of that.
I am now on the hunt for a work rest design to either buy or make. I am imagining a T-slotted rest that could accommodate a small miter gauge when desired. Also hoping for one that is easily adjusted for different angles relative to the platen.
I have seen the D-D Work Rests that are prevalent on ebay and they look good. I do not think they offer the T-slot that I am after. I recently ground a HSS bit to make some hose barbs and I needed a fairly precise angle on the nose, so a T-slot gauge would have been helpful.
Any ideas or examples would be appreciated.
