RE: The Home Grown cutter Grinder - Sunset Machine - 12-10-2014 Nice, very nice Bill. Something to be proud of for sure. RE: The Home Grown cutter Grinder - Bill Gruby - 12-10-2014 I needed a radius cutting end mill with a .375 radius. It took a mere 15 minutes to cut this one from a broken .750 end mill. Not all that bad. "Billy G" RE: The Home Grown cutter Grinder - Bill Gruby - 12-10-2014 In the beginning this is what we had. 60% of this was scrapped or modified. These parts were given to me by a friend. He was going to throw them out. he did not know what they were from. Some research found they were part of a Tip lap honing machine.. "Billy G" RE: The Home Grown cutter Grinder - Bill Gruby - 12-11-2014 Etching the lines on the work Head with the Mill was time consuming. "Billy G" RE: The Home Grown cutter Grinder - Highpower - 12-11-2014 Impressive work (as usual) Bill. RE: The Home Grown cutter Grinder - Bill Gruby - 12-11-2014 Here the Spindle Tower was nearing completion. The tough part here was the alignment.

RE: The Home Grown cutter Grinder - Bill Gruby - 12-12-2014 I have these prints for the Work head. No dimensions on them. "Billy G" RE: The Home Grown cutter Grinder - Bill Gruby - 12-14-2014 I do not now or ever claimed to know the electrical end of machinery. I hate that part. The reason why is a long story. I needed plenty of help with this part. It's as neat as I could get it. The power cord still needs to be added here. The box it all fits in was in house made. "Billy G" RE: The Home Grown cutter Grinder - dunn - 01-06-2015 Howdy Bill, Thanks for posting this. I have two completely unrelated questions, perhaps both silly. Could you grind arbor-type involute gear cutters? Can you tell me how you achieved the paint/finish on the non-contact parts? Thanks, -- dunn |
