Hi Guys,
A great guy, a member by the name of middle.road, sent me a couple hi grade 100 grit green grinder wheels!!!
i'll be using these beauties to sharpen my carbide metal scraping tooling, as well as my carbide lathe bits!
The dimensions of the wheels are 6" diameter X 3/4" thick with a 1" arbor hole.
The problem is that my ol' 6" grinder has a 5/8" shaft, i'll need to make an arbor bushing!....
i have a bunch of materials to choose from.
i wanted something easy to machine, durable, and resilient-
Delrin can fit the build!
i turned and drilled an arbor spacer from 1.5" delrin rod on the 1974 Hercus ARH 9x22.
Delrin cuts like butter and is an excellent material suited for many creations!
here's a shot of the plug being formed
the dimensions of the finished arbor spacer is 1.00"od x .625" id x .855" thick
heres a picture of the reassembled and trued wheel on the old pedestal grinder!
the wheel on the right is the 100 grit Green Wheel.
i was already able to sharpen some scraper bits to great success!!!!!
Thanks middle.road!!!!!!!!
