| Meldonmech:
Hi Guys For some time now I have been meaning to replace the inadequate tool rests on my Bench Grinder, but other more interesting or urgent projects seem to have taken priority. I have been looking for a new short project which would give me more casting experience, and tool rests looked as they were particularly suitable. I did a few sketches and made the wooden patterns. |

I'm in need of a tool rest also and would love to see your sketches. |
| Meldonmech:
Hi Rick I made some castings for a Base, a table and a protractor. The base and the table had shrinking problems, and the protractor mould collapsed when the pattern was removed. |
| Meldonmech:
The patterns for the base and table were modified to ensure there was no great change of section. The protractor casting was machined to form new pattern having more taper. |
| Meldonmech:
The components were recast cast using the modified castings and turned out good, problems solved. Cheers David |
