Looking for a confirmation on my gauge block setup. I’m making some mt3 tailstock shanks. I’ve already cut the taper on the shanks on the lathe. I used a new mt3 shank and dialed in the compound off that. I left acouple thou. for grinding.
I have a suburban master grind fixture mounted on a sine fixture. The length of fixture is 5” on center. I have come up with a .130 stack of gauge blocks to get my desired angle for grinding a mt3 shank. Does that sound right?
Setting up on the surface plate shows like a .001 difference from lrg end to small. This could be because of my setup on the compound idk? If .130 is that stack than I’ll just grind it but I want to make sure before I do. Have alittle bit of time in it to scrape it. Any help would be appreciated thanks.
