I'll admit it right off the bat - I'm not the sharpest tool in the
shed ![]() type that has to turn the picture of the tool bit the same way as the one I'm holding in order to get the angle right... Anyway, I got one of the HF carbide tool grinders today (nice sale: $129.95). I thought that the tilting tables and miter gage would make it so simple that even I could do it. BZZZTT - Wrong! Getting the end cutting edge and the end relief angle is pretty easy. I tilt the table down at the angle I want the end relief angle to be and set the miter gage to the desired end cutting edge angle and push the front of the tool into the side of the wheel. I can't figure out anything after that! It seems that I need to have a slot for the miter gage that is perpendicular to the side of the wheel (actually four of them). The only way I could figure to do the side cutting edge angle was to use the miter gage and do it on the outer edge of the wheel. Problem is, I'm hitting the wheel below the center line and my side relief angle is wrong. Hope I explained this in a way that is understandable. If anyone can give me some pointers (pics would be great!), I would appreciate it. Thanks, Wallace |
