Hi David A cool idea and can be made in various sizes, can't beat hand feel when power tapping. David |

Mike, David. Thanks! I've now used it for the first time. Very easily managed M6 in mild steel, tapping this next little job. I have a 6" bench grinder. The wheels are too hard, don't cut. And when they do, there's grit over the very limited bench space, and car........ So, when I really need a grinding session, I set up in the middle of the back lawn. So there's no rusty patch left behind on me driveway. I have been using a 50mm dia diamond disc in the lathe chuck, for the past few years for tool/ drill sharpening. It does the job admirably! Occasionally though, a little more roughing power is needed.......... I bought a couple of sets of angle grinder disc nuts, and mounted them on stub arbours......... Didn't bother with the M14 thread, just a slide on fit, and an M6 screw and heavy washer....... Slips into the chuck........ Diamond rougher disc....... Not quite so rough, diamond disc........ Old faithful, finisher.......... Works for me! :thumbup: David D |

And, finally. A 110mm disc of mdf, backing an al oxide polishing disc....... Good for woodworking. :thumbup: Had around 180 hits, since I posted this last gonna do, and no comments....... Guess it's run it's course. I'll see if I can't get the Maiwald project finished, and out of the way. David D |

Sorry David, I should have posted my thanks for a good idea. I am an avid follower of all your stuff; just don't say much. But I will try to do better in future. Jim |
