First one showed missing parts. Second one was complete. It's a working bench grinder czcams.com/users/postUgkxxC8HPnl24fu0XhMU_nbmWNEUoK1RMHXk . One thing I like alot is that it's surprisingly quiet. I don't feel like I'm sacrificing any rpms or power for the quietness either. All in all it's a very nice machine. No vibration whatsoever.
A simple but very effective improvement, the extra working area is really worthwhile. I've shamelessly copied your idea, with two small variations. 1. Rather than fixing the extended tool rest with holes, I've used slots, that way, as the wheel gets smaller, it's simple to move the tool rest forward minimising the gap between the wheel and the tool rest. 2. I milled shallow vee grooves into the tool rest surface giving the perfect drill grinding angle. Thanks again for the idea.
Great idea - looks solid. And you can cut any thickness of shim you need with pretty basic tools. I want to mount a round stock holder to do a simple lathe grind.
I think it’s a good idea if you don’t have the right grinder to do what you need to get done. I’m looking for the support arms that bolts on the inside of the grinder cover’s, where can I get them from? I live in Michigan.
Greetings from the UK.nice clean and simple design.I just made one for mine but I changed mine slightly that I left the brackets in there original positions and used 2 tables.cheers tel
Looks like it does a good job if you don’t have the right machine to do that with. Where can I find the support arms that bolt to the inside of the grinding stone covers?
In Principal your idea is good. But it's become hazardous now due to the fact of when your wheel reduces it's diameter, a bigger gap will happen between the grinding wheel and the rest plate, so if any object where to wedge itself between this gap, specially if you're holding it, well...I'll leave that thought with you guys for a moment. If I were you, I'd return the machine to its original specification.
Great Presentation, may i ask the approximate shim you place between your 2 aluminum horizontal bars approximately 3/16' square, or should it be rectangular. ? Respectfully, Jim P
I like the mod but from what I've read and saw on other channels,You should only use the rest for your hands not for the steel..Or you would never be able to get all the correct angle you need :) but i would defiantly do the mod even just for a rest for my hands,But like everyone Say's there is no wrong way or right way to do this,It's down to personal preference and what works for you.
Buy a 7 inch lathe from Grizzly or Harbor Freight and put it on your credit card. Cut back on eating out for a few months and pay off the lathe and you have a decent Sieg starter lathe.
Nice modification to the grinder. I have a couple I may do that to. I am very curious about the drill press in the background. Will you explain to me what is going on there?
I have a six inch grinder like this purchased from Menards for about $25 in the mid 1980s it still works fine. Had to replace the power switch with a $2 toggle switch 10 years ago because the original plastic switch was smashed in a move still runs fine.
Over many totally overbuilt DIY tool rests this is something I was looking for. Pure essence of DIY - simple and works.
So who's building the Over
Built Tool rests ! Then ?

Good Idea sir...also put an adjustment bolts under the plate..once two bolts are tightened or loosened we can create the required angles sir
I like the plate idea! It will work great for sharpening my kitchen knives with a compound coated plywood wheel.
Sensational! Thanks for the vid -- EXACTLY what I was looking for! :-)
great idea.

how big of a problem is small grind wheel (the radius that it produces) when grinding lathe tools?

Now if I could just afford a lathe. lol

Awesome!

It's a Drill press that drills holes
@@davidwillard7334yes but more importantly, it's a home brew mill with XY table
A good job modifying the tool bar. cheers !
Nicely done, also nice to hear your voice. Be sure and wear your eye protection.

You should round your stone instead of keeping it flat and work with the center of the stone. That's what I do anyways and was taught.
Hi 250w is it enough for that tool ?
It is wonderful sharper.pl.send address.
where did you buy it for $30?
It's clearly a european grinder, but I detect no accent. Hmmm
Until it stops running

That's a STUPID ! IDEA !! WHAT'S THE IDEA ! OF PUTTING THE BAR ! ACCROSS ! THE GRINDER ! FOR !?? ITS AN ! OBSTRUCTON !
l bought jooltool to go with my vari-speed b. grinder, jooltool on youtube.
