7th Cavalry-- and all that! So now you want to do the fab-ing of angles cut out of plywood or even a plastic tray from MacDoo-dahs for your varigated (t) angles- instead of pee-ring under to see where you got :lol: 'Bin there-- and so have an army including Slattery's Mounted Foot :beer: As for the whole panjandrum moving - nothing really bright to suggest as the last BIG anchor was lost at sea. Big Question---------------------------ARE Finally winning??????????? :hammer: |

Afternoon! A quick update. As you may remember the Kennet didnt come with an attachment for grinding end mills so Ive been busy making one. After reviewing some excellent reference material supplied by Normo Tebbs and Miner I came up with the following - In pieces - And then... This has some repeatability as once the tool holder can simply be removed and turned through 90 degrees to grind the other faces. Yet to actually be tried out I have a couple of adjustments to make. I need to set up a pointer for the angle (although not strictly speaking absolutely necessary at the moment), work out some kind of setting block to get the faces parallel to the grinding wheel and also work on a more secure way of retaining the holder in the cradle as there is some slight movement.

Apart from the delightful reference to the other Norm, all is well. You must realise that he has considerably less hair despite being my junior. So Kennet's? I like the end mill holder and approve of how it has been fabricated after a rather nasty blow up of the other tool holder. Norman and I had much more serious blows up but how did you know? So, I look forward to seeing what your Kennet can do. Hurry up- I'm beginning to lose my hair as well and this imminent 82 years is not quite as thrilling as 28 was :doh: N |

Cheers Norman, Ive been reading up on the angles that need to be ground on an end mill. Ive got a few blunt ones here I can practice on. Will keep you posted :) N. |
