Here's a tool post grinder submitted by Paul Belt (Kansas
Assoc. of Model Engineers)
Adjustable stop
Hi
here are the pictures of the tool post grinder, It is basically a
block of aluminum that is drilled
to fit over the tool holder stud. I fitted it to the tool holder
and then put a drill in the chuck to drill
though the block. Then I put the block in the four jaw- centered the drill
hole and enlarged to fit
the bearings. The shaft was turned to fit the inside of the bearings. On
the end of the shaft is a
shoulder to press against the bearing with a threaded end to accept a drill
chuck.
The
motor mount is adjustable for tension on the belt, and is made to match
what ever motor a
guy wants to use. I used an old sewing machine motor, but they do get hot
if they are run for any
length of time. The belt and sprockets are something that I scrounged out
of an old copy
machine. The original plans called or making your own pulleys and using
a vacuum sweeper belt.
