Precision Ground Toolroom Stones

I watched that yesterday at work. Amazing.
 
Hey Bob, you have a surface grinder. Are you taking orders? :grin:

Not yet, but I am looking closely at 7" 1A1 diamond grinding wheels, 150 grit, and at the Norton combination stones. For those who do not use stones for cleaning up burs, it really works well and the original geometry and surface can be kept mostly intact when used correctly. Robin's methods kick that idea up by several more notches, and I will definitely be going there...
 
I'm probably going to get slammed! I have a dedicated granite surface plate that I use for such purposes. When it starts to look ugly and or not work as it should, I will go buy another plate. But I have been using the current plate for about 20 years now and it still works great. Yes, I know a surface plate is not a deburring station, but it’s my shop and I have more than one plate…Dave

I have been using very fine hard stones, albeit much smaller, for as long as I remember for the same kind of things Robin was demonstrating. Something I picked up from my mentor many moons ago.

It never occurred to me the stones may not be flat or to use a second stone to keep the surfaces of the stones clean.

Seriously wish I had room for a surface grinder. Grrrr...

Which stones are you looking at?
 
Stones are on order. Should have them Saturday on my Amazon Prime. Now, all I have to do is mix up some coolant for the surface grinder and mount my diamond wheel and I'll be ready to go!
 
I thought they were $500/pair?
