Do I really need a T&C grinder?
Darren:
I knew that was coming.....at some point..... :coffee:
Darren:
Bogs, they advertise these gadgets as being usable on the mill. I realise spindle speed may not be optimum but what do you reckon?
Could it be a goer? If it is then it could just be the ticket till a small grinder comes my way.
georgeseal:
John,
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.
bogstandard:
Darren,
I can't answer your question as I have never tried it, but I will definitely be using it to make my own cutters out of silver steel.
George,
I am hoping to get an hour in the shop tomorrow, purely to see what this thing can do. So I will make up a bit of a post to get you on your way.
Oh!, and John, less of the grandad.
You should know by now that I only ever make tooling that can't be bought anywhere. This is one such case where I didn't need to make one.
I have now got mine, it is up to you others to see if you can make yours in a reasonable amount of time.
John
shred:
I've got an all-singing all-dancing T&C grinder that metaphorically fell into my lap one day (physically it would hurt). Anyway, I'm not an expert by any means, but I rarely use the thing and agree with John that the average home shop would probably be better off with the money, time and space used elsewhere. As-is now, I'm seeing if it can be pressed into use as a surface grinder, go figure. One thing that isn't obvious with T&C's is they really aren't designed to make cutters, just sharpen one's somebody else already made. You can make cutters, but it's a stretch sometimes.
