Can't wait to see that beast when done. Are you going to do guides of some kind for repeatable point angles?

Gunrunner you need to order a set of these for the Z axis hand crank. Bill did you just spit coffee on your monitor? :rofl:

I have some ideas on this for two reasons. Grooves for 1/6 and 3/32 tungsten adjusted to the proper angle would make things easier, second the tungsten gets hotter than hell when grinding so I could make the guide out of a thick chunk of aluminum to suck the heat out of the tungsten.
 
Just get a tungsten sharpener, you will be way happier I would think. I picked up a high quality one used on ebay. No more ruining nice wheels on your bench grinder. All the dust is contained in the tungsten grinders head, nice set up.

Looks good Coolidge! I'm a fan of overkill!! It IS a beast.

Micheal, I've thought about making a 'head' for a cordless dremel I have sitting around that would contain a diamond wheel, something similar to the commercial offerings. Just too many other things in front of it.
I do like the idea of not getting up off my lazy arse to sharpen tungsten.
