Do I really need a T&C grinder?

Could it be a goer? If it is then it could just be the ticket till a small grinder comes my way.

Darren,

I had a bit of a search for you and came up with this.

I don't know how well it would work being held in a vice, as the unit has angles on the bottom face that are sucked down onto a mag chuck, I don't know how you could hold it properly in a vice to ensure the angles were in the correct position.

BTW, to carry on from the above post, and Stew's question. I have only worked out at this time how to present up to four cutting faces, although it says it can do up to 12, it looks like any more than this might require a different shaped wheel, or a different wheel face approach method. I will need a little more playtime to solve higher numbers, unless anyone has done it before, and can give me a few pointers.

Stew, looks like the idea of bringing your old cutters along and having an afternoons resharpening session is now on the cards.

I have some cupped wheels off an old cutter grinder, for doing more than 4 flutes you have to use the edge of the wheel fed in from the side going to a stop so that you don't crash into the next flute, but this may need the fixture mounting on a angle plate, I,m just having to come and have a look at it I'll bring the wheels with me  :scratch: .

Getting all excited at the prospect of grinding some blunt cutters up.

Please post a follow up on how to use this tool.

When I got my grinder I just had to have some new tooling

price was right at the time so I bought one with no idea how to use it properly.

George,

Did you get that Harig we saw in SC?

There is now a post that shows how I got this fixture to grind my milling cutters.
