Thanks, more talented people can grind free hand, I need all the help I can get, the tables rotate on quadrants, helps keep the gap between the stone and table the same as the angle is changed.
I made a miter gauge that slides in the slot, don't use it all that often, also a jig to sharpen cutters for a tangential tool holder,

Thanks Dave.

I cheated and used the CNC milling machine but it didn't start off at all well Described here in the MadModder OOOPS section:

Another reason for me to steer clear of CNC.

What little extra time I had was spent re-building a Jacobs 18N chuck that I bought off e-bay. Apparently "good working order" means different things to different people. Outwardly it didn't look too bad but it was locked up, almost solid when you put the key to it. On top of that, the R8 shank was packed, almost full, with some kind of fibrous-mud type substance.

Fortunately, when I got it taken apart, it was just gummed up something fierce. A couple hours sitting in some Simple Green, another couple hours in some Evapo-rust, some time spent with some #00 steel wool, a liberal application of high-pressure lithium grease upon re-assembly, and VIOLA!



A very smooth and tight chuck for my mill. I got it cheap enough that it was well worth it, even with the extra work.
