Looks great,good plan of attack
Thanks Pat. 👍
Excellent work mate 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Thanks.👍
Are you the guy at the shop in Whitehall ohio?

Hi Randy, what are the dimensions of your cylinder square? I i tend to make one but I haven’t decided its size yet. As an aside, chasing tenths is difficult. I made an 18” surface grinder spindle a few years ago that had to be within 0.0002 overall. That was a nerve wracking project. Since then I’ve learned a lot so I’m hoping making a square won’t require so much head scratching. Gilles
Hi the cylinder square is 8" tall and dia. is 2.385. Good luck.👍
@ thanks Randy
SPEAK!! Geez! This whole thing could've been edited down to about 2 minutes .
As good result grinding it in a lathe . The criss cross can be more refined with a sharp corner dressed on the wheel . Cheers 👍👍👍
Thanks Max. One end is better than the other Cheers 👍
@@Randysshop Have a look at some of the old Suburban Tool grinding videos . They shim the tailstock in there cylindrical grinder to get the required result .
@@swanvalleymachineshop I will do that. Thanks
Your dog need to have glasses on....
He is an outlaw, says nope not happening!! LOL
Randy, you shimmed the tailstock but I strongly suggest that it was the wheel that was not perpendicular to the work. i.e. the grinder spindle was not parallel to the lathe spindle axis / bed. The cross hatch grinding marks look very strange in your video, they should look like very fine scratch marks. Yours seemed to have some type of pattern. Regards from Australia.
Hi Dave. I had mounted an indicator on a bar in the chuck and zeroed the front and rear of the spindle of the tool post grinder before I started grinding. Just looking at the grind on the ends it looks good. I put some Sharpe marker on the end and rubbed it on the surface plate the it is touching all the way across the surface. I did a grind on the end and blued it up, the wheel was only touching at the top, So I put .002 thousands shim under the front of the tailstock ways then touched it again and the wheel was just touching on the bottom but still more on the top. So I added .001 for a total of .003 thousands of shim to the front of the tail stock and it looked like it was touching the same top and bottom. Thanks from snowy Mich. USA
@@Randysshop Thanks for the information. Yes you dialed in the grinder spindle parallel to the lathe axis but I suspect that it was not parallel to the bed, hence you adding shim under the tailstock to compensate. When you get a chance just install the grinder as before and check out of interest if it is parallel to the bed. Regards from Australia.
@@daveticehurst4191 I will do that Dave. Thanks👍
@@daveticehurst4191 You have to shim the tailstock as they are above centre enough on a new lathe , low on an old lathe to get the required pattern . A completely different animal than doing it in a cylindrical grinder .
@ Dave You were spot on Dave, the tail stock end of grinder is .008 thousands higher then the front.
Good video Rndy..thanks for your time
Thanks.👍
Difficult work, but you did a good job. Thank you for this video
Your welcome.👍
There are so many variables in grinding - from lathe spindle bearing 'noise' , to temperature . . . not to mention any wear conditions / variables within any given setup ! Lapping & honing seem to be the best solutions to getting SUPREME accuracy , yet there are ALWAYS little GREMLINS that make us scratch our heads when CHASING perfection ! 'Max Grant is a WHIZ' in larger scale projects - There are quite a number of incredible machinist / craftsmen that put out fantastic videos ; From "Chris , aka "CLICKSPRING" , to Robin Renzetti , . . . & we can't forget Steven Gotteswinter or This Old Tony ! * Turning JUNK into JEWELS takes a lot of work ! "V" Good video ! * Spring is right around the corner . . .
Thanks George.👍
I like that , I’ve got a Wrist pin out of a diesel motor I use , pretty accurate. Thanks
Hi Pat. I have seen people use wrist pins before, I don't know what they were from engine wise. Thanks for watching. 👍

He is a great dog, Loves being in the shop. Thanks
Good one Randy . I just have a flat block with an angle milled on it . They are good for turning tools but beware of compound angles when used for threading tool angles . Cheers 👍
Thanks for the tip Max.👍
Looks like a handy jig. 👍
Thanks Tom.
As usual your attention to detail is shown. Never rushed. Methodical.
Thanks Mike.👍
Thanks for the video. From Walla Walla Washington
Thanks Frank.👍
good video Randy
Thanks 👍
Really useful jig 👍
Thanks👍
Nice! That's a good idea! LIKE!
Thank you. 👍
hello from spain ..very good job randy,,thanks for your time
Thanks Buddy.👍
Nice work, the only way that grinder would look any better is it was in my shop lol
Thanks Pat.👍
Nice work! The video isn't too long, many of us enjoy it that way!
Thanks Tony.
Perfect 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Thanks
Thanks Randy, I am really looking forward to seeing the tool sharpening jig in use.
Thanks
Great content and craftsmanship. I have been wanting to make the same jig myself. FYI the audio and video are not very good. Sounds like you have the mic under your nose and the video is semi blurry.
Thanks Terry👍
Happy new year mate. Great work 👌🏻
Thanks 👍
Happy New Year Randy. Thanks for sharing. 👍🇺🇸👍
Happy new year Ed.🧨🧨
Very nice work mister. Great machining. Nice video
Thanks Happy new year.👍
Making a tool-grinding jig is pretty cool, but posting it on New Year's day is excellent!
Thanks Happy new year.
Happy new year I wish you and yours a great year.Randy
Thanks Pat👍
thanks for sharing. looking forward to the journey!
Thanks Buddy👍
Happy New Year Randy! Please keep doing what you do, appreciate it!
Thanks Charlie👍
Randy, DId you have any problems with the stone plugging with brass or solder? Nice project, well done!!
Hi Tony. I did not seem to have a problem with the wheel loading up, I did dress the wheel after one side was finished tho. I think using coolant may have helped. Thanks for watching👍
good video randy
Thanks for watching and have a great new year!🧨🧨
Good crack at it Randy . I always wondered steel v cast iron , if there is a difference with magnetic transfer . I hope your Christmas went well . Cheers 👍
I don't know about that, I do know that it needs to segmented with brass or aluminum for it to work. Thanks for watching Max. Cheers
Cast iron has the advantage of not retaining magnetism it may be more efficient at transferring magnetism but I'm not sure about that
Great job mate 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Thanks.👍
Cool project!
Thanks 👍
Well that’s going outside of the box, it worked. Thanks merry merry, happy happy
Thanks Pat. 👍
Cool! Sucks on the house stuff. That’s never fun.
Thanks Mike. 👍
Merry Christmas Randy. 🙏 Sorry to hear about the frozen pipes. Hope that you are doing well.
Merry Christmas Ed. I was surprised when it happened for sure, but we had a lot of wind that night the wind chill was - 35 degrees air temp that morning was -5. all good now life goes on. Thanks for watching.👍👍
This is a POS. Doesn't even get you close. Yukon 10001, unfortunately it costs $500. Only universal tool that works.
This is interesting. My MG612 does not have that port on the side of the saddle where that trough is. I was wondering what that trough was for! Nor is there any way for any flood coolant on the table to get into that trough. My table does have a threaded hole in the back left of it, presumable put there to handle flood coolant. I hope to add flood coolant to mine at some point, but I need to get it working properly first.
I think yours is older then mine, because It has an oil port on the spindle that mine does not have. The first 3 digits of serial number will tell you when it was made. The only place I could find any info on them was on the lathes UK web site.👍
@@Randysshop Mine was made in 1969. I have been warned by few folks to stay away from the spindle bearings, so I probably will ignore them for now. I sent you an email with a link to a website of another owner of these grinders. You might find it useful. - Greg
@@MyLilMule I will have a look at it. Thanks Greg
I do remember looking at that site now, The spindle on mine was nice and quite, I did remove the dust cover on the back of the spindle, and the grease looked good so did not do any more with it. The machine I have was made in 1957. Good luck with your machine.👍
good video and good job Randy,,thanks for your time
Thanks.👍
Great Outcome Randy. Just a small piece of advice, try NOT to run the coolant with the wheel STOPPED. The wheel is pourous and the coolant will soak in at the stopped position, and when you start the wheel, initially it will be wildly out of balance and may cause problems. Regards from Australia.
Hi Dave. I did read about that, and turned the machine on for a bit after the video when I wiped off the chuck. McMaster Carr sells fine mesh filter bags I am thinking about adding one to catch the fine grit to help keep the coolant clean. Cheers 👍
Nice job 👌🏻
Thanks.
Good result Randy . I still have to catch up on your hub video's . Cheers 👍
Thanks Max. 👍
I like the SG set up. 👍
Thanks Tom. Happy Thanksgiving.🦃
Very nice work Randy. Nice upgrades for sure. One more nice piece of equipment for your shop. Sure video the engine content.👍 Happy Thanksgiving Randy. 🦃 Thanks for sharing 👍🇺🇸👍
Thanks Ed. and Happy Thanksgiving. 👍
Randy, I like the coolant pump and plumbing idea, I may steal it. Thanks for the great videos.
Thanks Carl. I bought the pump and coolant container from local Home store. Happy Thanksgiving.👍
