Retired Air Force Flight Engineer Have interests in machining and mechanics. I have a Craftsman 12" lathe, Bridgeport clone mill and welding equipment so there isn't much I can't do. I'm just not as experienced as I'd like. Willing to learn. I'm located in So Cal, near Hemet.
Looks like I misspelled my Intrio. Where's spell-check when you need it?
I Looking to build a tool post grinder for my first project. Have the motor and spindle, just need some direction from here.

Hi ShirleyLS03 - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

What kind of tools would you like to make? Let me know and I'll post some links for you.

Hi Jon, Well, for my first project, a tool post grinder. Then, possibly a tailstock taper attachment. Nice one on ebay but the shipping Is too high for me. Hopefully there are some plans available for it. If not then a standard taper attachment.

Take a look at rossbotics's tool grinder plans: Tool Post Grinder Plans

They're not free ($10), but this is one of the most popular tool plans on the site, written by the guy who has won the Homemade Tool of the Week award more than anyone.
