Title: potty end mill grinding fixture
Post by: sbwhart on March 13, 2014, 12:49:58 PM

Bin working on a end mill grinding fixture is a compilation of ideas from Philip Duclos shop wisdom and Harold Halls grinding book plus a little bit of pottyengineering.

 Nice Stew, sorry if I've missed it but what is the actual grinder setup you are using?

Harold Hall has a drill sharpening jig in his book, I may have a go at it some time.

Cheers
