Really like your video and style of your presentation. Just by accident and in the need to get a job done very quickly I took a 1/2 inch 5C collet and a square collet block and essentially did the same thing. But I kinda like your approach better. But then again with a hex collet holder you could possibly get some pretty interesting grinding going on. Thanks for the video.
I've used my collet blocks a few times for various grinding projects. To protect the block from grinding grit, I cover it with painters tape, and then afterwords I thoroughly clean the block and collet.
Hi Dan, nice to be here learning what you do. Nice a grinder squaring block should work out well for your round cutters we see it. Your bluing looks good. Thank you. Lance & Patrick.
hello Dan....nice fixture.....you got me thinking....what if you only held the boring bar in the jig with one set screw, then instead of the 3 holes make it a slot where you could run an end mill in the slot and create a flat for reference when putting the bar in a lathe tool holder or re-installing in the jig with a little more stickout ???? what do you think???
Nice machining and thanks for sharing but I have got to ask why you made it to such tight tolerance? I totally understand pride in your work but aside from holding the part securely and having the bore parallel to one side, for the base, what was the point? Sorry definitely not meant as criticism. Cheers
Since I'm just a hobbyist and thus not on the clock, I find that holding tighter tolerances then might technically be needed is good practice. It helps keep my skills sharp, for those projects when tight tolerances are a requirement.
Thanks for sharing ! Very useful!
Very nice work sir
Thanks Dan. Nice video and machine work.
Thanks Don!
Very nice grinding jig... will be on to do list!
👍
Watching in Alabama
Excellent idea!!
Thanks Dave!
Sometimes the simple projects give greatest results. That will improve the accuracy of grinding your boring bars.

Very good point, will remember that. Thank you.
Nice job dan!
Thanks Brandon!

The slot should work for sure. If Memory serves, solid rock machine shop uses a similar concept to make their solid carbide bars.
Good job
Thank You!
enjoyed,2 thumbs up
