Tuning Up a HF Tool Bit Grinder

[EdK]

A lot of us have this ubiquitous HF grinder 46727. Hmmm, it appears they no longer sell it. I tried finding it on their web site to post a link but no luck. Anyway, here are a couple of links showing how to improve this useful tool.

I believe the one that MSC has in their catalogue is the same so they are still available, no one here in CANADA home of we don't carry that has one so I have been thinling of getting one from MSC. tom

Ed, it looks a lot like the Baldor I have. I go along with the white wheel on the left but if you're using the the green one on the right for carbide it just doesn't cut it (so to speak). You have, of course read Harold-V's discourses. Can we argue against him?

Steve,

I just haven't gotten around to purchasing a diamond wheel to replace the HF supplied green piece of cement on the right side. It's on the list of thing to procure, soon.

We cannot argue against high speed Harold's discourse. I've done the grinder modifications on a 6" grinder to accept 7" surface grinding wheels per Harold and it does work as he says it will. It's great if you use HSS tool bits. I use both HSS (sorry Ken) and carbide insert tooling.

I've seen Ken sharpen and use HSS.

Been there, done that.

Didn't I make a comment the other day about old farts not remembering posts. Well, I guess it's true as proven by Willie. I'm not sure I want to thank him though.

John,

I know, that's what I've been doing the last couple of evenings when I get home from work. He's a real down to earth guy that would fit right in on this forum.

Yes, you did...

Sounds like somebody needs to send "Keith" an invite.
