Grinding tools, should I make a jig

<< < (2/3) > >>

John Stevenson:
That dresser that John linked to is bloody brilliant but buy just the head and make a shank or use a bolt.
That shank is more money than the dresser  ::)

If you have a surface grinder these will stick on the sticky table and ensure you get a flat wheel, used freehand they don't dig in like a single point one and you finish up taking less of the wheel so longer life / less mess.

Brilliant for de-clawing next door cat............

Bogs,
that's the dresser I have been using, I managed to get the grinding wheel nice and square very quickly using it. I shall be ordering some tool blanks today.

Can I ask why Diamond is not recommended for honing Hss?

You can use diamond, but the crap that comes off HSS clogs the diamond plates up and makes them useless.
You will also find that diamond is very harsh when used on HSS, cutting minute grooves rather than the chisel like honed finish you should be trying to achieve with a fine oiled stone.

Thanks Bogs, thats handy to know. Hopefully I will get the grinder up and running this w/e. I'm going to make a new support.
Sorry to be dumb, but, how do you accurately measure the angles on the tool?
