Hi Guys I was just trying to sort ought some of my photographs this afternoon, and however many times I do this there are those pics that seem to prefer hide and seek than be viewed. My PC has a mind of it's own and changes the location of pics I have filed. The pics I have discovered are of the Stent Tool and Cutter Grinder which I built some time ago. The slides were machined on the shaping machine then accurately hand scraped. A work head was constructed to take Myford collets and an indexing device fitted. The Myford spindle nose could also take a small chuck or tailstock type chuck. There are a pair of centers, not shown. Slide stops are fitted to adjust movement. The machine was entered into The Midlands M.E. Exhibition at the time and achieved a Bronze Medal. Cheers David |

Hi David, Very nice. :thumbup: I've just looked at the price of the drawings and castings - £300 + VAT so I don't think I'll add one to my list of things to make. I thought it might make a useful compact surface grinder with a few mods to increase the spindle overhang. :beer: Phil. |

I also have (what I think is) a Union T&C Grinder but without a great deal of work I can't get a wheel in the correct position for surface grinding. Do I really need a surface grinder? Having had access to one at work before I retired I miss being able to use one. But I've managed without for 4 1/2 years so.......... Cheers. Phil. |
