The EXCEL tables are a useful tool to investigate drill grinding devices and jigs for conically or cylindrically shaped flanks. The application of the worksheet is very simple and no special knowledge of mathematics or computer programming is required. However it is necessary to know the jigs geometrical features which in any case can be described by four figures. Additionally two figures must be known from the drill to be ground, the diameter and the half tip angle. These and some other input data are set in the {Input Output} table in the boxes with green frames and a bluish green background. The cell to be altered is selected by a mouse click and then can be overwritten with the new data. An [Enter]-stroke or clicking another cell completes the input. EXCEL immediately actualises the worksheets and diagrams.

Hi,
I'm the editor of Model Engineer & Workshop magazine and before that the editor of MEW from 2014, also one of the website admins.
I'm a model engineer, and in the past I have written for ME and MEW, but I won't claim any great stock of expertise, just plenty of enthusiasm. Before becoming editor, I used to post on this forum as Stub Mandrel (and may occasionally still do so).
If you would like to find out more about me, my personal website is <a href="http://www.stubmandrel.co.uk/">www.stubmandrel.co.uk/</a> and I have an author page on Amazon at <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Neil-M-Wyatt/e/B01FK687I0/ref=ntt_dp_epwbk_0">amazon.co.uk/Neil-M-Wyatt/</a>
Feel free to send me a 'pm' (message member) but these are a bit slow and clumsy, so if you would like to get in touch with me by email use <a href="mailto:meweditor@mortons.co.uk">meweditor@mortons.co.uk</a>
I'm always glad to hear your views on the magazine, and particularly keen to encourage new contributors to 'have a go', so let me know if you have any ideas for articles.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Neil
