Hi Dave, Thanks for the info. Sad to hear that he left the forum. I enjoy reading his posts amongst others. It will be difficult for me a beginner to go without the tool rest. I don't know how to hold the angles required. Regards, Wong. |

Wong, Don't remove the toolrest...... :scratch: It is there to support the tool, while grinding! ::) Hold the tool on the rest, but tilted at an angle to it. (About 5 degrees), to give cutting clearance. :thumbup: David D |

Wong, Leave the stud alone, but file the slot in the toolrest a bit wider (not much is needed! Only from the downside), so it will be possible to tilt it. 5 degrees like Stilldrillin says will be just fine for most things. No need for a protractor here, itīs more like a ballpark figure. |

Thank you both for sharing. I learned about not needing a protractor just yesterday when I touched up the chipped edge of the right hand tool. The test cut on a piece of steel looks ok so far. Using the tool rest gives me the confidence when grinding. Maybe I'll attempt to make the adjustable tool rest I saw on Mr Rudy Kouhoupt's DVD. Regards, Wong |

Wong, If you are missing Boggy's words of wisdom. Try on here....... http://start-model-engineering.co.uk/ He writes the, BEGIN WITH BOGS section, and we're all still learning from him! :thumbup: David D |
