The larger they get Nick, the easier they become to sharpen, as they are much easier to see what you are doing. If pushed I suppose you could even do it with an angle grinder. John |

True. I found that out last night. I tried a drill that made a horrid scraping noise on some stainless, it looked ok but had to try sharpening the smaller one 3 times before I got it to cut acceptably. Ended up putting more of a point on it and that seemed to work. I've got a bench grinder, might be able to do it on that, not sure whether the drill is too big actually suppose it should be ok. I've got a cheapo drill grinding jig but it's a PITA to set up and it really needs careful adjustment for each different size of drill so just do it by eye now! Nick |

Hi John, I took a gander at the video, after going through the log, and it looks great, I know what mine should work like when I get to doing it up, and I can't say I've seen better from a rotary table, and what yours does will suit my needs perfectly. Now my only choice is whether to build or buy the electronics, very nice job all in all, and fine performance. I don't know how common the six by 48 belt sanders are there, but they are very popular here, and they have a nine inch sanding disk, usually, which goes dull with its first use, usually, unless you're working wood. I was replacing the bearings on mine, and realised the shaft being five eighths, and a nine inch disc grinder having five eighths eleven threads, I threaded the end of the shaft, pressed a shrink fit shoulder on it, and replaced the aluminum disc for sandpaper, with a nine inch grinding disc, and have used the first disc for a couple years and it's still in good shape, and will flat out eat steel at the edge, and at the same time, flatten and leave a fair good finish on steel, when pressed against the face of the disc and the disc remain sharp. It will dress up drill bits two and a half inches and larger with no problem, and it doesn't move about like a disk grinder lying on a table when trying to use it as a grinding wheel. All in all, a good build log, great expose on the division master to start with, and well managed assembly and machining of the parts to make it work, nice job all around. I hope you get many good years of use out of it. :bow: mad jack |

John. This was a great build; I thank you for showing it. It makes me smile to see the extra effort you spent on putting the grub screws in on the flange where you had previously sealed it, when this piece of equipment gets handed on and the guy opens it up for whatever reason he should recognize the little quality touch. God bless, Anthony. |

Good going John; excellent build log as always as well. I like the way the controller software accelerates and decelerates the rotation near the start and the end. Regards, Arnold |
