With the help of my buddy Todd, I have completed Howard Hall’sDeluxe Grinding Table as described in his books. I have also completed thelathe tool jig and round tool jig and will make the drill jigs when I returnfrom vacation.
If you have built this table, I would like to seepictures/descriptions of your set ups and how you use your table. I have notcompleted my setup yet. I purchased a new bench grinder and replaced the standardgrey wheels with a diamond cup for carbide and a white aluminum oxide straightcup for HSS. The guards over thestandard wheels need to be modified to cover the new cups, and my table needsto be mounted, so I have not used the table or grinder yet.
I am also interested in seeing any methods of mounting adiamond dressing tool on the table to dress the white wheel. Todd kindly gaveme a diamond dresser that is mounted on a ½” dia. x 1 ½” shank and I need todesign and build a jig for it.
I am not the greatest machinist in the world, and I startedthis table early in my experience level, so the fit and finish isn’t pretty.When I visit Todd the next time, I hope to have him grind the parts of thetable and my attempts at tool jigs, and when that’s done, I’ll post pictures.
In the mean time, I hope to see lots of pictures andtechniques posted here so myself and others can learn from them, so TIA!
