Drill Bit Sharpening Jig Plans

[Billh50]

I see! I am not a subscriber to HSM, though I have considered it a few times. I may just have to inquire about purchasing the appropriate back issues and trying a one year subscription while I am at it. I checked out their article index and found that the two issues are Jan-Feb 2012 and Mar-Apr 2012 (for those that might be interested).

ON EDIT: Bad news fellas: The Jan-Feb 2012 issue is no longer available on the back issues page. It must have been a popular issue!

That was why it took the publisher a month to locate the first issue for me. I was surprised they bothered for just 1 issue. I had given up when I got an email from her that she found one for me. Just charged the normal price for the issue also.

I am also in the process of building the four facet drill grinder that Gadget Builder designed. I got the plans from a back issue I got from HSM and xerox copy of the 1st article also obtained from HSM. let me know if you would like help obtaining a copy of these plans.

The Tormek drill sharpening accessory for their grinder looks pretty good and you can use it for other sharpening needs. Looks versatile although a bit pricey. Looks very well made. I think it's from Sweden.

I've got a large stack of HSM's from pre-2000 going back to the 1980's - if that's any help.

Hi Brian, I got the Mar/Apr 2012 issue of HSM from the publisher Village Press Inc (1-800-447-7367). It has the part 2 of the article. The Jan/Feb issue is not available but they sent me a xerox copy of the part 1 article. If you can not get the articles from them, I will mail you a copy. Just let me know.

We had talked about this in Mark's cutter/grinder build:

"I emailed John and he was happy to send me a copy of all the plans, the original article and photos! He does NOT want this distributed by anyone else, as he wants to maintain control of revisions, etc. Very nice gentleman and got back to me right away ."

That's John at gadgetbuilder.com. Nice guy.

Hi Mike, Gadgetbuilder and everyone!

I am the "Brian" that PM'ed member "Getaway" about the plans. I only asked his secret for getting both parts since part 2 does not appear on their back issues page. He made it clear that Village Press (the HSM publisher) themselves sent him a photocopy of part 2 with his order of the issue for part 1. I am going the same route.

To be clear, we are NOT trying to violate any copyright!
