As I informed Nick, I don't use my endmill/slot drill holder but use a rather odd combination of a set of ER25 collets which fix onto a Vertex BSO dividing head which will tilt progressively to be a rotary table but on my Clarkson Mark 1 grinder. Well, that's my take on things.

In Nick's case, I would probably either use the existing tool holder from the Kennet and use the lathe tool holder to hold a bored out bit of metal to hold and assortment of adapters ie 1/2", 3/8" and so on. Other wise, I'd use a bit of plate and bolt a bit of square to sit on top of it.

You see he's got a rather fine protractor on one of the tables and a smaller protractor to adjust the tilt of the working tables.

It's doing well. I only wish that I could get my camera to work as well-------booo, hiss :hammer:

I like it a lot and will take the path of least resistance every time :)

What is being sparked off is a wider interest not just on the Kennet with Nick but Quorns and other grinders.

It does prompt me to add a comment to others that tooling for one machine can often be swopped onto another- and it is sometimes an improvement.

And 'my camera' simply refuses to listen to me swearing at it. :wack:

And anyone know why one of my hearing aids- isn't. Pardon, speak up!

Can't win 'em all!

Where would you put them?

After our emails this afternoon I am back to the Workshop Practice Series, number 35 and reading up on the endmill sharpening fixture to see what can be pilfered.

I need to get the end mill attachment working as soon as poss as making the damn thing has blunted them all!

Hi Nick,
Really you should be on Miners and my E-mail exchange of info. Heady stuff but all that you have to do is to follow the words and the music about holding slot drills and carefully grinding first and secondary clearance angles at 90 or 180 degrees to each other.

What you have got to now will do the ends of your drills.- or enough to not ask the Madmodders' rat to gnaw at yer bit of metal. There's one about- it feeds on emery cloth :bow:

Better go- not listening. Me 'gugger lugs' are on the blink or gummed up or summat equally nasty and I'm in a bit of a moody. :loco:
