    The circle cutter actually works pretty well, but the fore/aft adjustment is critical. The point has to be right at or very slightly ahead of the blade teeth. Also on my DoAll I use the on/off as a master power switch for the saw but I added a foot switch for the blade. I figured that if something goes bad with the saw I didn’t want to try to get out of the blade and over to the switch. Something happens, I step back, blade stops.

    Steve, in the late ‘70’s I worked in a pre-CNC machine shop. My friend worked as a tool and die maker and so he operated one of the SFM-type grinders. Our company used some extremely heavy-duty multi-spindle turret machines like Wickmans. He routinely would precision-grind tools with machines such as these. I remember him using the profile viewer as well. Cool tool indeed!

    You are very lucky in life. So glad you are sharing all this. My dad watches the History Channel and other crap. All those shows are about people screwing others or rooting for someone to fail. I would much rather watch you,Keith Adam, Clark, Quinn, This Old Tony, Mister Pete, the list goes on. All of you bring positive into the day. You show your struggles and mistakes and persevere through them. All of us are rooting for you. I think the big thing is that we all want to do what you do and when we start you would root for us too.

    When I saw how much those balancing stands cost, I went in another direction. I bought an accelerometer sensor ($5) for an Arduino microcontroller and was able to dynamically balance it. I made a plate so I could add weights around the perimeter and moved them until the vibrations were reduced as much as possible. It really improved the surface quality of my ground finishes.

    Hi Steve, as an amateur machinist I was so relieved to see how you balanced those grinding wheels. I made a balancing jig that works on the same principle as your commercial one and used it mainly on those horribly unbalanced wire wheels with excellent results. As there isn’t much to dill on a wire wheel I would add self tapping screws to the light side to even it up. What a difference that makes. Anyway I used the same jig to balance the wheel on my surface grinder and like you I drilled the stone to balance it. I thought it was probably a very shoddy way of doing it but I feel a whole lot better about it now. That grinder is an amazing piece of kit and I shudder to think what it cost new but I’m sure neither you or I could afford one. I love those Do-All accessories. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺

  • @gavinmclaren9416
    @gavinmclaren9416 Год назад +2

    About 35 years ago I worked in a shop that made heat exchangers. The tubesheets and baffles required hundreds to thousands of holes to be drilled, reamed, and grooved. About 90% of the time these were 3/4" diameter, occasionally 1". We would drill them using radial drills, and there wasn't a CNC machine in sight. We never drilled pilot holes as this would significantly increase the hours on a big tubesheet. The swarf was a pretty reliable indicator of when the bit was sharp and when it was dull enough to require sharpening. My recollection is that a sharp bit would eject swarf from both flutes of the bit evenly, and the swarf would not tend to break off unless you disengaged the feed and pulled the bit up a little. This is exactly what your sharpened bit did, so I reckon your grinder was working well. We had a similar grinder in the toolroom of that shop, although I don't remember the manufacturer of it. There was a lot of demand for heat exchangers at that time; the radial drills were in constant operation and the grinder was frequently in use to keep the bits sharp.

Sad to say, most all are out of business and the cutter grinder with them. Ahh, the old days.

    I own two precision grinders I use in my home shop. 1 is a auction find that was the deal of the century.
    Apparently designed for optical grinding work it has a diamond wheel with two grit sections and a v notch all in one wheel. Plus four other wheel types. Like your machine this has two cam assemblies. One to move the glass part x and y, and one to move the motor (wheel) for course fine or v-notch.
    Since I grind carbide not glass I have made some modifications, but have made some new cams for custom applications. Honestly, none of my cam profiles have worked correctly, but I keep trying.
    So I can totally appreciate the learning curve your machine would have.

    I was taught to balance vitreous wheels by grinding shallow recesses on the side of the wheel with a hand grinder. My teacher told me it was best to make the pits wide and shallow to minimize sharp edged stress risers.
