Default Toolpost grinder

Was looking through a PDF of Advanced Machining Handbook from the 30s,
look in a retro way. It had an illustration of a toolpost grinder. Now
it makes sense.

But other than 1,000 and up, who has a serviceable model for less (less,
less) than that?


I made an adapter to mount my dremel type tool on the toolpost .
Light duty only , but it works rather well . I had to add a .015 shim
(cut from the bottom of a pie tin ...)around the front bearing of my
dremel tool to tighten things up , but that's all .
Used it to clean up and size a couple of transmission roller bearing
races just the other day . Very likely will be using it soon to do a
finish grind on a couple of laps for the motor ...
