Oct 12, 2013. #10. macrls said: It's not homemade, but I invested $49.50 on a Lee Valley/Veritas tool rest and love it. Very versatile, fully adjustable, well made. It has a horizontal groove for sliding jigs left and right, and I've made a few jigs to make it easier to sharpen lathe tools, (I'm not skilled at freehand grinding). With mounting ...
Did you make the belt sander/grinder? I'd like to see more of that too. Thanks for sharing! -brino. thanks Brino. the Shaper is a Bastos 40 mm ( 50 years old brazilian machine) And yes, i made the belt sander ( see the other videos on my channel on youtube) greetings from Brazil.
You are right about the tool rests. Most recently manufactured bench grinders seem to be fitted with those postage stamp sized pressed metal abomination tool rests with the tensile strength of dried peanut paste. I opted for a larger working surface than most using 65 x 65 x 6 (2 1/2" x 2 1/2" x 1/4") angle iron screwed to a piece of slotted 25 ...
Grinding Rest, Simple. Design for, and method of making, a Simple Grinding Rest. The grinding rest is in his book about Tool & Cutter Sharpening, fantastic book btw and I highly encourage a hobbyist to purchase one. It's only about $10 and the info was well worth it if you have any interest in keeping tools sharp.
The Grizzly G0687 Tool & Die Grinder looked like an amazing machine to grind lathe (and other) tools, but is a bit much for a home hobbyist, even if it wasn’t discontinued. A Northern unit, still available, costs $600 plus shipping - way to much! That said, such a grinder rest for my Delta 8” variable speed bench grinder looks very useful.
I was thinking of making a 1/4" steel table surface maybe 4" x 4" to mount to the original rest and give me some extra support. The rests can be adjusted in and out but the top remains on the centerline of the wheel. To grind the relief into the tool, I'd like to tip the tool rest 4-5 degrees.
Oct 4, 2016. #1. I am wanting to build a decent bench grinder tool rest for grinding lathe tools. I can grind free hand quite well but I want something better. The tool rests that came with the grinder I have are adjustable forward and backward only. I want to build a tool rest that will adjust for height, vertically and for angular tilt.
My Harbor freight bench grinder has awful tool rests. I get the tool close then take it to my big Jet 12" disc sander/ grinder with right media. Precision is way easier no facets. Before my jet I had some cheesy little 6 inch disc but was still better than the grinder for the big finish.

John Hasler said: When I look around the Web I see recommendations of 30-32" but that's about the height of my workbench and I find it too low for working on HSS cutters and such. Factory made pedestals like Baldor & Rockwell for example set the center height of the wheel (or arbor) at 39". David.
There is a 3/4HP Powerfist 8" grinder in Hamilton, brand new in the box, for $90.00. 8" wheels will be easier to find, are wider and sometimes cheaper than 6" wheels. If I was a new guy today and I decided I was going to use a bench grinder for tool grinding, I would consider it a long-term investment that I could use to grind tools for any ...
