It's funny you should mention that machine Bill. I've just watched a video and they're doing some pretty impressive work with one, cutting precision fan profiles.

Bill,

Looking nice.

Just a few points worth considering.

The Quorn has a micrometer feed screw on the bottom rail which is used to put a fine cut on.

One desirable feature is to be able to withdraw the tool being sharpened for close inspection and then being able to put it back without losing position.

Is the rotation of the bottom bar stopped by the clamp between the two main plates? The Quorn uses another round bar to stop against and there is a screw to adjust the stop position.

Grinding wheels on the Quorn are mounted on arbors similar to an 8mm watchmakers collet. They are very easy to swap.

I assume you'll have screw adjustment for the various adjustments on the workhead.

Cheers.

Phil.

Very impressive machine!  :drool:

I don't think it would fit in my cellar workshop!

Had a good laugh at that guy standing in front of the thing in his pristine white shirt. The thing throws s### everywhere!  The ceiling, 3m above the tank, is just splated with crusty water marks , it's surrounded by a 2m light curtain but no one's going to get that close without a sowester!.

I'm looking forward to the work head design. I need to add one to my 1920's Cincinnati Universal Grinder to add radius grinding.
