This is from Harold via my anti spam account. I don't check it often but saw it today.



I am unable to post to RCM, thanks to my moronic ISP, who doesn't get the
picture that, somehow, posts that appear on their server are not being
forwarded to the news group. No amount of complaining, not only by me, but
by others, has made any difference to them. Things went south about March
of this year and have not improved. I still read when I have time, but not
on a regular basis.

These guys desperately need to read some information on tool grinding. All
too much BS is being promoted.

Some time ago I posted (on the Chaski board) several threads revolving
around grinding HSS, chip breakers, wheel selections and grinders in
general. The posts were very extensive----and contain information that
could benefit even seasoned machinists.

I was contacted by a party that suggested I post them in a common place for
others to download. Not wanting to appear as a know-it-all----I suggested
that it likely wouldn't appear to be the wise thing to do, but if he wanted
to do it, he had my permission. I don't consider anything I'm willing to
post as being anything worthy of protection, and it should be available for
anyone that has confidence in my opinion. As a result, he compiled all of
the posts, which are now available for download free of charge.

I'm going to provide links to the Chaski board that lead to the three
threads, and I'll also provide the link that leads to the compiled posts for
those that might want to download everything as a unit. Feel free to post
the information on RCM---or even to copy this and post it directly if you
feel it's worthwhile to do so.

Harold, that last link 404'd on me.
