Stent Tool and Cutter Grinder

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.

Very nice build!

Phil,

Have a look at the "Bonelle" it's made from bar stock and the plans are free on the web.

Hi Matthew,

I already have a Quorn on which the Bonelle is based but neither are really suitable for surface grinding.

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.
