Good to repurpose broken tools . On my t&c , i have to back off the 30 deg when i grind the side clearance to maintain the 60 deg angle . If i don't , when the 2 edges meet the 60 deg is reduced . I use a sharpie marker to blue the side to be able to keep track of how much to reduce the 30 . Once the line changes from angled to parallel , i am on target . Cheers 👍👍👍
I will do that, I have the other parts done for the tool post. I have the 30yrs of broken carbide tools from the mold shop to make cutters from for a very long time. Thanks!
@@DonDyarprecision Hey Don , i was thinking if you can tilt the grinding head , the tool can be left in the same plane as the table at 30 deg & the tilted head would automatically grind the clearance with no effect on the primary cutting angle . I can not do that on my machine , but i was thinking about doing an extra spindle like you have that can tilt . 👍
I use a 3/8" flex ratchet with a 6" handle and a 3/4" socket. Also works great on the draw bar .I have the drawbar hammer with the socket but with the flex handle I don't have to tip-toe .
I have a Bridgeport shoulder from the drawbar and Bridgeport elbow from cranking the knee. I mention about overtightening because so many do it. I use the 3/8" flex handles and the sliding T bars a lot and recently been sticking Allen sockets on 3/8 rachets in hope of finding Allen wrenches when needed.

Hi Don, those are some kool machines at the beginning......thanks for all you do, you are an inspiration, Paulie
Thanks for inspiring me!
