Harold Hall's precision grinding table
Ashlyn Katarzyna:
Thats pretty elaborate, I could only dream of doing something like that. Keep us dated on the other goodies you make for it, good things take time!

Hi
It might look complicated but its only one bit at a time.
look at it that way and it gets easier.

Bob,
Question. I noticed the dimensions are metric in the book. What did you do? Covert to the nearest imperial size or did you just convert the metric to inch and use that? Screws should be an easy conversion. I've got a chart to follow that. Thanks in advance.

Hi Bernd: Converted to nearest inch size. Don't recall running into any complications.

The grinding table project is done. Changed out the regular grinding wheel with a cone type wheel. Put the wheel guard back on and modified it to fit the cone wheel. Drilled and tapped more holes for the base bracket since the cone is much smaller then the regular wheel.
Here's the set up.
The drill bit attachment works great. Did this 9/32" bit in about 10 minutes
This is a must have in the metal shop. There is no excuse for dull lathe tools and drill bits now. The next attachment will be the endmill sharpener. I think this table is well capable of sharpening endmills. Also want to make an attachment to hollow grind wood chisels.
