Minituare surface grinder
Was wondering if there is product on the market that
would have a 2" grinding weel, may be 6x12" grinding area and .0002" or better downfeed control ? I need to be able to grind 1/4 strips of blue steel (~50RC) down from .007" to .003-002.5", with .0005" accuracy. The actual grinding areas are really small - may be ..0040 wide and 3/8 long I saw plans for home-grown one @ http://www.dm.net/~lughaid/vest.htm Just might have to build something like this. I reckon there is very little reqs for X-Y travel, outside of it not interfering with downfeed's accuracy. I have built a simple jig for Dremmel and it almost works, but the spindle is very loose, plus the grind wheels have 0 accuracy to them: not concentric, not accurate axially etc, trueing up won't even help . |
