Universal Grinding Fixture From Plans

[jjr2001]

Thanks PJ and Doug. I had so much fun making this fixture.
Really, not kidding at all. This was the project where my lathe motor gave up the smoke
and the best thing about that is now my little lathe has a real motor!

Long time to complete this tool but I had a few things to do first, such as fix my lathe!
So here are the results with the graduations labeled. There are four quadrants on each of
the 3 dials. Don't need anything more than about 20 degrees for the tools I will be grinding.

Obvious zero numerals were not stamped as they are assumed.

Numbers were stamped using a version of Rossbotics Universal Grinding Fixture.

I will post the version that I made shortly.

Thanks Doug, this fixture is a real aid for grinding lathe tools and keeping the angles
correct. One of these days I might be able to hand grind them but not yet.
The fixture is excellent for taking an unground bit and forming it. Once it is
formed and needs re-grinding I can do that by hand.

Thanks again for the plans,
Cheers, JR
