Ralph, one way you could get an approximation for what you want is to measure the current flow of each device, probably using a clamp on ammeter. Since the...
Great, Mert. I will be glad to send you the money for the postage. That will give me something to copy so I can get it right. James Parsons 3113 Edgewood Drive...
Another view to consider for those new to the hobby... Learning how to grind metal to a desired shape can take some getting used to. In order to preserve the...
Has anyone mounted a TS Engineering Quick Change Toolpost on a Homier 7 x 12? What is the best way to do it. Mine came with a bolt but I am not sure what the...
If you hold the bit in your bare hands, generally, it will get too hot to hold before you start the colors running. Unless, of course, you try to grind it in...
Here was one found by Google. "Hobby Mechanics" produced a long list of hits, this was the first. http://www.hobbymechanics.com.au/ Ralph in San Diego ... ...

The formula I learned when I first started in the shop was 400 fpm. Take the dia. x pi then divide 4800 by the answer. This is for a general number to start...
The capscrew that came with the QCTP is intended to replace the existing threaded stud in the compound. My local NAPA had a longer 10mm stud so I could use the...
Sent 'em today. If you set the tool rest on your grinder to the approximate angle, and hold the wood model with the angle of the wheel radius to the center...
Actually, I've been able to hold the bit too long, trying to get that perfect edge with light passes. Must have been all that stuff hot I handled while working...
It has a lot to do with what you are used to holding. I used to take my Physics classes to the AO plant in Vt., and one of the lens grinding processes has...
Mert, can you post some pictures of it? Side, top, etc. - that would be enough to help many of us. Thanks, Gary G ... Cutters... ... models ... them ... your ...
I have seen ball detent cartridges in the catalog from these folks; http://www.reidtool.com/ Ralph in San Diego ... for ... projects I'm ... source. It ... try...
"FPS" translates to 'feet per second', and refers to the velocity at which the material surface is passing by the cutting edge (lathe turning) or the cutter...
Paul and Mert, So, the larger the grinding wheel the better, so that it has a flatter surface to present to the toolbit? - Charlie ... hot to ... try to ... ...
Stuey the chuck adapter plate at LMS. With a little thought, it probably could be made to mount a chuck on the RT. Otherwise, I have a drawing that I made...
Oops, no that is backward. The FPM formula: With DIA (diameter) in inches ... DIA / 12 is diameter of the disc in feet, and PI * DIA / 12 is the circumference...
Yours is correct. I derived my formula from the values I calculated using the calculator on the web page, and then tested it on an Excel spread sheet. :-) ...
Yes, but it's not really that important. a 6" wheel is not going to make enuf of a hollow grind to make much difference. Ideally a cup wheel is best, but not...
Thank you, Mert. I look forward to receiving it and giving the grinding a try again. I printed your message and will use the information as I am grinding. I...
The formula in Technology of Machine tools is as Follows: CS(FPM)x4/ (Diameter of materal) It is an abridged version of the formula in one of the earlier posts...
... I'd say yes, to the point where it goes completely flat(I use a belt grinder). For some reason, the belt grinder doesn't seem to heat up the bit as much....
Hey guys, Some great news ( for me at least ). I just spoke with a Detective investigating my burglary. My 6" rotary table turned up at a used tool shop in...
