This guy and the old man from Surburban tool have both made some of the most informative videos i have seen on RUclips. I disagree with them at times but their videos are a huge step above most videos on grinding. TY
Hands down one of the best, most practical, and easy to understand channels for aspiring tool makers. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience with us.
Lots of useful information as usual. Thanks for educating us. I'm a beginner on the grinder and always come back to your videos for grinding tips and tricks. I watched your grinding videos long before I got a surface grinder, and always knew that this was hard facts on grinding. Thanks again Steve, and hope your health improves.

We used a Norton Norbide stick back in my days at Talon as a tool and die maker to feather the wheel. Gave a nice cross cut. I remember dressing wheels down below a 0.100 thousandths and dropping slots in punches and holding .0001 tolerances. Mostly Zipper die tooling. Uses a Parker grinder. You did have to watch the fingers and be pretty confident on a surface grinder.
I spent most of my working career in deep drawn stamping. Work on a lot of press tooling in those days. Before hard turning we did a lot of profile grinding.
Nice to see you back Steve. Thanks for the information on dressing a wheel for side grinding. Good information on keeping what fingers I have left away from the wheel.😊
Hi Steve. Great to see you back, hope you’re doing well. 👍 Always wonderful to hear you share your insightful thoughts and practices. Many thanks. All the very best to you and the family. Cheers, Ron.
So, pretty much you’re trying to achieve the closest possible to a single pointing with your wheel, I see. Very good explanation and description of the effects of every step you took! Very nice!
@@SolidRockMachineShopInc always a pleasure to watch who knows what they’re doing! I really enjoy your videos and the simple, calm, and effective approach you take in every task! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! You’ve been a great help to me! Even though I don’t own a mill and cannot foresee it in the near future due to financial and space reasons, you’ve made it possible to understand how so many operations are done and how to achieve our goals! Thank you!
I used to take a stick of Norbide and dish the side, feathering the periphery to sharp edge. Clean, burn free sidewheeling, leaving a nice cross hatch finish
Used a company here to supply me with surface grinded steel. Then from a laser company a laser machined triangle 1m edge. Checking the grinded steel you could see light between it and the triangle. So wish they had been honest and skilful like you
Nice video " Professor",Love the videos you and your Daughters put out!. Would be nice if you show how you made your dimond holder( the one you used in the video ).😯
Check out this video. ruclips.net/video/lHXeA9_9UAw/видео.html Just don"t place your left hand on the unit like he does in the video. Those are nice units, I have used them many times and like them a lot.
The diamond stone for dressing the wheel should it not be on a slight angle like maybe 15° so you can rotate it all the time to keep a clean edge. Otherwise won’t the diamond develop a flat spot?
@@SolidRockMachineShopInc oh ok. Hmmm. I’m not sure what I have then. I assume if you look at it if it looks like it’s fragmented pieces together then I won’t have to rotate it but if it looks like it’s one piece, then put it on an angle.?
A single point diamond has only one diamond in it but a cluster diamond has many diamond in it. Mine usually have seven smaller separate diamonds. What you are describing sounds like a "grit dresser" which is used for CBN wheels. It has many very small diamonds embedded in a metallic base which looks like a single unit. @@TheZakkmylde
Hi Steve. I have a requirement to have an old O.S. Walker 5” X 10” mag chuck ground as absolutely parallel as possible (not for a surface grinder). Would you be interested in helping me with this?

Thank you for the kind words.
👍 More priceless information! Thanks for sharing these grinding videos. Not much out there.
It sure is great to have you back, Steve. Wonderful content.
Hi Robert, hopefully we can get back to putting out more videos.
Steve & Co. Good to see you guys are active and uploading. Thanks for sharing.
With my health it is day to day but over all I am getting better so hopefully we can get back to getting a few videos out.

Great to see you back!
Thanks
dress wheels and jig grind daily at work. three years experience. thanks for advice. :)
You are welcome.
Steve, every time I’m surface grinding I’m humbled by the process. I’ve always wondered how to side dress a wheel , thank you soooo much!!
You are welcome.

10 months has been too long, welcome back! As always a very good video
Yes, I Know. I been having health issues that greatly limit what I do. Things are starting to get better and hopefully they will continue.
Thanks for showing and educating us, Steve. Good to see you Back.
You are welcome.
Steve, great video and very glad to see you back making content. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
You are welcome.
This is solid gold. Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome.
Great to see you making videos again. Thx for sharing your Knowledge.
You are welcome.

Thanks Daryl.
Great to see you Steve.. Said another prayer for you... Great tip on side dressing, much enjoyed!
Thank you for the prayer. I really appreciate it.
Glad to see a video. All the best to you and the family!
Thanks Brian.

Lovely to see you again Steve … keep going buddy. 💪🏻💪🏻
Thanks.
Thanks for the video Steve,
I've been using the radius dressing because you can dress the bottom of the wheel when needed and you still have the edge.
That is a nice advantage using the radius dresser.
Great content as usual Steve,Thanks.
You are welcome.
Thanks for great video on side wheel work!

Thank you for sharing, great info/discussion/demonstration
Thanks Chuck.
Thanks for the video, looks like a great technique. Charles
Thanks Charles.
I used to take a stick of Norbide and dish the side, feathering the periphery to sharp edge. Clean, burn free sidewheeling, leaving a nice cross hatch finish
I do that too but did not want to show it because it could be dangerous for someone with out experience.
That's the method I used back in the sixties, surface or cylindrical grinder. But I used to take out the bulk with a dressing stick.
Yes sir worked like a charm. My tool and die days at Talon is what we used. Very nice feather cut.
@@SolidRockMachineShopInc Thats true that edge gets sharp and 100K or harder wheel will cut you good.
Long time no see Steve! Excellence in machining. Thank you from John Spargo in Cape Town
You are welcome.
Good video. Thanks for showing how to dress a lip rather than trashing the side of the wheel with a norbide stick. I hate when people do that.
You are welcome.
The dressing side of wheel to get balance was nice also. All the youtube wheel balancing videos seemed to omit that step.@@SolidRockMachineShopInc
Thanks , some great info there . I did not know about the issues with side grinding with the VOS wheels . Cheers .
It breaks down really fast. Maybe with a larger lip it may work better.
Good one. It all makes perfect sense.
Thanks.
Thank You as always very informative video
You are welcome.

Nice video, Steve !
Thanks Brian.
No idea how this ended up in my suggestions, but enjoyed learning about the tech on something I may never use.
Glad to have you with use.
I used to use a Norton Norbide stick to dress the side of the wheel by hand.
I do that too but did not show it because it would be dangerous for someone with little experience to try.
First time I sww the explanation why you should use the 15 degree angle on the diamond, so that you can rotate and expose a non-dull edge. Thanks!
You are welcome. It is most likely the number one mistake people make.
Nice video " Professor",Love the videos you and your Daughters put out!. Would be nice if you show how you made your dimond holder( the one you used in the video ).😯
Nice, love to see you again. There is very little grinding info on YT
I hear that from a lot of people. There is so much you can do with a surface grinder that I am surprised at the lack of content.
alwayas a good day when you post a new video, thanks.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You are welcome.
Hey Steve, missed you.. watching now. excellent info. Good to know not to do my open grained wheels.
Thanks
Hope things are getting better for you. 🙂
Could you traverse the side of the wheel with the diamond using the z (vertical) axis instead of the x (horizontal) axis?
You could but it would take a lot longer because of the fine feed of the Z axis.
why is it only grinding on the left side of the wheel? x axis out of square with z axis?
The part was not very flat and there was a high spot on the right hand side of the block. You can see it when I show the block.
Sure miss your videos
Hope to be back soon. Been having health issues that IO hope are now getting better.
Steve
God bless you Steve. Hope you heal quickly
I need help dressing a 6° angle on the side and all we have is a j& s dresser. Can you explain it to me please?
Check out this video. ruclips.net/video/lHXeA9_9UAw/видео.html Just don"t place your left hand on the unit like he does in the video. Those are nice units, I have used them many times and like them a lot.

6:30 That finger that's "out of the way" looks kinda banged up. LOL
I cut my finger on the right hand earlier at the milling machine on the sharp edge of a tool that was stuck in the holder.
