Title: Grinding Rest
Post by: Metalman on February 17, 2011, 04:37:30 PM

I see that some forum members have, or are, making Harold Hall,s grinding rest.

They may then be interested in looking at www.homews.co.uk/page59.html   which shows a method of mounting it that makes it easier to use as it can be positioned much more accurately leaving less for the rest itself to do.

On another subject, a basic index for the Model Engineers' Magazine can be found at www.homews-mew-index.co.uk

 :wave: Welcome to Madmodder, Ken, and thanks for the link. I didn't know Harold Hall had a website. Now, I'll have you to blame when I get to bed in the small hours, having spent half the night studying it!

The plans for this Wong can be found in the Workshop Practice Series book Milling a Complete Course number 35.

This book is a project based course and the grinding rest is one of the more complex projects. It also includes the accessories for sharpening a wide range of tools
