Today I bought the radius grinding fixture for my Clarkson. It is only a Mark 1, without the tilting head bracket, but am pretty sure it has never been used. It isn't rusty, it's been sprayed with a waxy preservative oil. It came with a 25mm tool holder shaft, for which I already have the metric mills size bushes, two finger hoders, and I bar I am not sure is for. It is missing the setting bar slide, so I'll have to mill one up.

I bought it from the mate who sold me the Clarkson. He is a tool nut, very skilled machinist, and replaced the Clarkson with a huge TOS T&C grinder, with every accessory you can possibly imagine, and a bunch you wouldn't have thought of.

I had a quick bit of a play with the radius fixture this evening, but since looking in the Clarkson manual, see it needs to be mounted the other way around.

The club I belong to got a Clarkson two weeks ago , only a few tools with it made a er32 spindle and tooth rests , John Stevenson made a how to cd for Clarkson , Norton do a free download of there tool room grinding booklet search for tool room grinding , still learning how to set up done 4 facet drill sharpening , have you found bedroom workshop.com loads of info there ,

RotarySMP:
Yep. The bedroom workshop collection of info has been really helpfull. I sent him some photos of my clarkson, but I think he has gone inactive on that front. Tool grinding is a pretty cool way of turning loads of time into grinding dust and maybe a few sharper cutters. Good luck with the four facet drill grinding. So far I have just been using one of those cheap chinese swing jigs for drill sharpening. A bit hit or miss, but still more repeatable than hand grinding for me as I don't practice enough.

What other accessories does you club have for your Clarkson?

Drill sharpening is a doddle set the universal head to 31 degrees set the base at 90 and the slide to 8 or 10 for the cutting edge then 25 for the relief , for the next drill do the relief first and so on , we only have the two centres and holders so far but the machine was free .
