Philf,
By reversing the motor/spindle and adding a way of moving the workhead, such as a lead screw, I believe the Bonelle coud be modified to to able to surface grind small parts. I am going to put this on my modification list.

Hi Unc1esteve,

The Stent still looks ideal for a mini surface grinder. I found a fabricated version of the Stent using round bars for guides a la Quorn/Bonelle but the dovetail version looks more workmanlike.

Cheers.

Phil.

The more I think about it the less I like my idea. It would be better to make a dedicated surface grinder.

mattinker:
A dedicated machine sounds like a good idea if you've already got a T&G. I've got a Clarkson MKI which I could use as a surface grinder, but I feel I'd really need to surface grind something to go through all that hand feeding!

An interesting project, keep us informed!

Regards, Matthew

Fergus OMore:
In a bit of correspondence to one of you, I mentioned that putting a magnetic table on a Clarkson is my 'norm'.

However for those with a Quorn, Philip Amos did a write up and fitted his grinding bit of the machine to a mill.

Again, the Stent 'pillar' will accept the Quorn or its own stuff to act like a vertical slide on either the lathe or the mill or even a shaper.

As a bit of an aside, the Stent is calibrated whilst my Clarkson 1 has no such additions.

Hope this helps
