trimming grinding wheel

Hi Les

Have you got a system to trim your grinding wheel on this set up.?

On the alexzander cutter grinder there is a swing type diamond holder

On the guard

Hi Nobby,

I just clamped a single point diamond dresser to the table and traversed it from side to side. This set up was just a lazy way to make grinding rest. I had the cross vice from my first attempts at milling on a drill press. (Not very successful.) The end mill grinding jig is Harold Hall’s design from issue 170 of MEW The use of a cheap bench grinder is also Harold Hall’s idea from his book “Tool and cutter sharpening” I added a key way to his design to allow me to run the grinder in either direction without the wheel nut unscrewing.

Regards Les.
