Well, I'm a bit late to this party but so glad I found this. I've been looking for ideas and this is exactly what I need! I've spent the last 2 evenings perusing your website and videos. Thank you for taking the time to document all this, it's a huge help to beginners like me!
by chance i found this channel it renders obsolete a lot of tinkering i did, trying to make myself an endmill sharpening ficture for the small horizontal mill i "converted" to, kind of, a surface grinder. this gave me a lot of new ideas, especially as i recently got hold of some small micrometer x/y tables for which i did not see any use, up till now. thanks for the upload
Thank you for sharing, I'm keen to build the simpler one. I have just ordered your book on Amazon to learn more about tool sharpening. I normally just buy a new tool when mine get blunt.
Hi Harold, Just picked up a copy of your book TOOL & CUTTER SHARPENING, what an excellent source of information for the home machinists, thank you for sharing your fantastic ideas and wealth of experience! Cheers, Eric
Thanks all for your comments. Unfortunately though, at 84 (2017), I now find it necessary to limit my involvement in my website and videos as the brain is not as agile as it once was. However, should you want to contact me, use the contact page on my website, here, www.homews.co.uk/page6.html . Do please read my comments there before posting. Harold
Play the video again Paul and follow the information on the last two pages. This will take you to the place where you can find the plans. Do come back if you need more help.
For the advanced rest, the drawings, and some help with manufacturing the parts, is in my book "Milling a Complete Course" If you are in the USA then the book is "Milling for Home Machinists" published by "Fox Chapel publishing" For the simpler to construct rest the book is "Tool and Cutter Sharpening" Again, for the USA the book is "Tool and Cutter Sharpening for Home Machinists" For more details about my books see my website page here, www.homews.co.uk/page12.html also pages number 2 to 9 that follow.

Anyone who has the skills and equipent to make this complex bit of kit, must surely have no need at all to make it, because they either already are skilled in tool grinding and sharpening, or they use carbide tools. It looks like a typical project for someone who just likes making things rather than having a real need for it. Fair enough I suppose, but not for me.
i have to disagree, as it is the simplest way to be able to fully grind most endmills, be them hss or carbide, without spending a lot of money on a grinding fixture. as i have lots of endmills that could really do with sharpening it will save me a ton.
