    Hi Big Trev From Essex England

    Being skint/just being a tight git, or just liking beating the system, I've always made lots of my own tools
    Like seeing what other have come up with.
    I've been using a Colchester Chipmaster for a while.
    Cheers

    Hi I'm currently working on making a lathe tool post grinder, I bought a small bench drill yesterday, I'll use the quill/spindle to mount the grinding wheel on, I'll either use the motor from the bench drill, or a hand held electric drill to power it
    I'm also adapting a 5 speed Meddings bench drill, to run at slower speeds by adding, a third stepped pulley on to it.
    Cheers
