I'm trying to find a recent article on modifying a chinese "reliance" type drill sharpener. I recall one of the modifications was to increase the angle of the pivot pin.

Any clues please, was it in ME or MEW?

I think this is what is normally called the "Picador" drill sharpener over here Pete

If so, Graham Meek describes his approach here:

Thanks Ian that looks like the article but I'm sure I've seen it in ME or MEW recently. Did Graham have it published in either or am I havng a senior moment?

Rod, It may have been in EIM but I won't have seen it as I don't subscribe.

Why the up to date index for both maazines can be published here beats me. Particulary as Neil is now maintaining the MEW index.

Thanks Nick that is the article I was seeking. That article, the Graham Meek link, Harold Halls page here **LINK** and the Jacques Maurel articles in MEW 245, 246 247 provide enough info to be getting on with

By the way the Michael Cox article was in MEW 251 not 151

Case closed; thanks for your input guys
