I decided to do some mods to the hebco grinder. The tool holder was for larger tools so first up was to make it more the size I needed.
Cut off the excess
Used the offcut to make a clamp, need to make some thumb screws for it
Cleaned up a tool I had ground by hand, no more multi facets
Cut better than anything I have ever ground before. Now nee to make some more attachments for it. Where is that Harold Hall book, first up will be a 4 facet drill sharpening jigger, I will mount my standard sharpener also. There is plenty of room to mount things to the tray. Thanks for checking in.

Decided to put a white wheel on the grinder to speed up the proces of grinding new tools. Found a suitably sized wheel which had no adapter so the price was dropped. Score.
The wheel, these grind tools nice.
I love machining this stuff, flatout, big cuts and streamers everywhere.
Adapter done just need to remove the old diamond wheel and bolt it on. Later today it is going on. SHould I run coolant on this wheel or is there no need?

Brock, I would definately run coolant on the wheel, especially on HSS. Can't quite make out the grit size and hardness specs on the label. The finer the grit the more heat generated.

Brock,
Looks like it's going to be a great addition to the shed. Take care not to run coolant on that alox wheel when it is not running,
the coolant soaks in on the low side and throws it out of balance. I've never had a wheel failure because of this, but start up
can be a little rough.
Regards,
Maverick
