Hello
I have just built a Tool grinder and i now need to learn about grinding wheels.
I have a spindle that goes 4800 rpm, my primary grinding will be HSS tool stock and i need to be able to grind on two faces of the wheel perpendicular to each other, i am interested in the cup designs the spindle dia is 1/2''.
I currently have a Ruby red stone on there and it Burns quickly. This machine will be grinding lathe and shaper tools only so i don't need a mirror finish but a finish that will hone good.
All suggestions and grinding tips are welcome.
thanks for your help.
Anthony.
