Dormer 108 Drill Grinder Resurrection

<< < (4/4)

awemawson:
Now as Bob KRV3000 wasn't actually locked in a cupboard in the workshop I had to 'have at it' myself, and try and bend it back to a semblance of straightness  :lol:

So, remove the bezel (retained by spring clips), gently bend the needle with very fine pointed tweezers, and put it back together. I was scared that I was going to break the needle if I fiddled too much, so got it 'reasonably straight' but not perfect

awemawson:
So now back to the drill sharpener  :ddb:

Needed an offset bracket to fix on the original 'stop collar' to act as a target for the dial gauge to press against. So a bit of layout blue, drilling, bending and tapping and here she is

awemawson:
It actually works rather well, and gives much more confidence that both flanks are being ground to the same position.

krv3000:
well dun I no where to send me drills for sharpening  :nrocks:
