I have an Axminster drill grinding attachment that was in a box of stuff
from my father's tools .Unfortunately , I don't have the instructions ...
I can probably puzzle out how to use it , but would prefer to find a copy
of the instructions - so far the only thing I know for sure is that it is
supposed to work on the side of the grinding wheel . If anyone has a set of
the instructions , I would really appreciate a copy . I did already google
for the info , and came up dry .

Upon further searching without limiting the search to Axminster , this
unit could be any one of a handful of brands (Axminster was the first hit on
a google images search ... but they all look almost exactly alike) . The
instructions for a General #825 are very concise , and will be what I'll use
to set it up . At last , a sharp drill bit with flutes the same length !

I have a General 825. Where did you find a copy of the manual? Lots of
ebay "for-sale" ads, but little else on Goo.

I think that's okay, but only as a last resort. ;)

Thanks for the link , Bob . I was unable to find a manual there , but not
to worry , several others make units that are virtually identical , and I
have downloaded and printed one fro General - their #825 is a dead ringer .
And for all I know , this is one is another brand - Axminster was just the
first hit on a Google Images search .

Note that this grinder requires rather precise adjustment of the distance
from the wheel to achieve proper clearance angles along with feeding. There
are some examples on the web showing the grinder on an adjustable slide
mount. You probably will not get a good drill the first time but it is
possible once you get it sorted out.

Thanks Don , I kinda got that impression from the instructions . I'm
probably going to build a dedicated grinder set-up for it , and since it
seems to be missing part of the base , I'll probably get to do a bit of
aluminum casting . More fun !!
I have a "spare" 3450 RPM motor that will make an excellent grinder with a
cup wheel , which would seem to be the best choice for this project . Gotta
beat my hand-sharpening technique ...

One home-brew example he

I wouldn't bother trying to replicate your missing base. All
you should need is a vertical hole the proper size in the
new adjustable block. Note how the old base really serves
little purpose anymore...

I've been thinking of building a setup to rough sharpen drills using a
4.5 inch angle grinder.
