You are correct the angled dresser does give you fresh edges. Straight on will produce an increasingly blunt diamond making the job harder and sloppier as it wears down

[@markjohnston2675]

The system on the drill grinder seems to be the proper answer, excellent design. Thanks for the work you do I always learn a lot from your videos.

I'm in my mid 50's and felt so good getting my extra credit. Made me feel like being back at school again. I need to make the platform first for my grinder. Then I can finally dress my wheel properly.

Thanks for the interesting video. Even if I never make one of these, the design and machining techniques can be applied to many other things. Keep 'em coming!

[@edpopelas2844]

I’ve long been wanting to make one of these. I came across a diamond mounted in a handle just like the one in your extra credit I had planned on cutting off and use to make a Geiger style but now looking at your extra credit that may be another solution. Great video!

Very nice series. Was all set to buy the stuff to make one for my new (used) balder grinder but found a NEW one on e pay for $75. Figured I couldn't buy the parts for that. However I appreciate the shop instruction and especially the care and use of wheel dressers and wheels. Excellent series Mr. Pete

[@bradjohnson9671]

Lyle, I'm glad you mentioned the need for parallel on the front face of the tool rest and the motor shaft. Most grinders these days are not parallel. Most lower cost grinders have stamped tool holders, not cast. I've had to fab decent tool rests for 2 of my grinders as the stock ones weren't very stable. Getting them parallel with the shaft wasn't much fun.

[@mrpete222]

Yes, it’s very difficult because we are dealing with cheap stampings. Nothing is machine. Do not overthink it

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

I always enjoy the extra credit clips.

[@mrpete222]

Never seen one of those dressers you made. I only ever saw those big handheld ones with the wheels on them but the one you made has far more control.

I too despise those star wheel dressers, they make such a mess; gotta make one of these. Will have to borrow the diamond from the Leslie Drill Grinder. Thanks!

I’m going to make one like yours good sir. Thank yoo❤

[@jonathangdavies]

My grinder would shake the whole bench especially when starting and stopping and on looking I saw it was not balanced and after stopping or being moved the wheels would rotate and settle at a certain position. So I started to address the balance then realised neither wheel was round and that had to be addressed first. It used to be fine but then then I remembered letting someone use it who probably had misused it causing the wheel eccentricity. So I made a similar dressing tool using 30mm (1 1/4") dia round bar drilled out on a lathe, tapped to 1/2" x 16 BSF for the adjustment (as I had a tap and die this thread) welded to a small piece of flat bar. Trying this out before the loctite stage I realised one grinder work rest had a cutout and sort of half round depression which I'd never noticed before, presumably to aid sharpening drill bits. So the work-rest had to be modified to give the smooth cross-wheel sliding action. I then realised the work-rests are made of thin material and move about. Finally got to dress one wheel and its a big improvement, much much less shaking of the bench but still some out of balance rotation - which I hope will disappear when I dress the second wheel (as I ran out of time). Thanks.

[@mrpete222]

[@cennsa140driver]

My wheels are in need of truing and dressing. Thanks

[@craigsudman4556]

That was a really neat build, Lyle. I tend to be on the OCD side, and I like to move my work across the grinding wheel when I sharpen things, even drill bits, in order to keep my grinding wheel flat. Occasionally I require a sharp 90-degree edge on my grinding wheel, and you've given me a lot of good ideas to make a dresser. I don't have a mill, but I think I can just bolt on a piece of steel to make the step as it is not a critical dimension. Great video Lyle thumbs up.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@gyrogearloose1345]

Just what I needed to see and learn, since I'm upgrading my tool-grinding setup with a new extended rest and your version of the South Bend jig. Now one question - how to ensure the edge of the tool-rest is parallel to the grinder shaft? Preferably without dismounting the wheel!

[@johnnybrigham8154]

Hi mr pete very nice job anyway to get a straight cut dresser thanks jb.

[@jcjones57]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video and I have decided to use your design in my little machine shop. I recently acquired an old Bradford Admiral 3 phase grinder - wheels 12" x 1.5" - which will benefit greatly from your dresser. Thank you!

Are you sure the taper is to match the tool rest? I think it would be to match the profile of your diamond nib, so you are wearing the cone evenly.

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

Thanks for an old fashioned chip making, and inspiring video. Even for a hobbyist it's highly doable. Except for getting hold of that little diamond tip.... Break the window of a juveler... Not likely.

Hi Mr Pete what i did for the screws for your machinist clamps i used a six inch grade 5 i believe old Oliver head studs . so i think a grade 5 long bolt would work good and i skimmed off the shank so the thread size was the same size . Good video i need to finish watching . JM Man Id like to get one of those drill grinder / sharpener that's neat .

Dating an Atlas Lathe - Unrelated to this video but my Dad watches your videos and asked if I could let you know where to find the date an atlas lathe was made ... apparently it's cast into the underside of the lathe bed. He thinks you may not know this fact. Best wishes from Manchester, England.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you, I will look for that Mark

[@christracey7562]

Just spoke to my dad again and he says the date markings are actually on the inside of the bed nout underside as i first suggested... somewhere near the middle on the inside of the front (leadscrew) half .... should be 3 numbers first 2 being year last one being month. His came over in the war as part of the war lendlease scheme. Sorry for confusion on first post

[@plakor6133]

For us non-machinists...could the body be made of a hardwood, like black locust?

[@mrpete222]

Sure

[@hankmerkle5928]

The "True" problem is getting the tool rest to align with the axis of the motor shaft... I did not see an offered solution to that problem. Since there is no reference without taking off the wheel and attempting to reference the shaft from the tool rest... Suggestions? (yes, one can guesstimate, but I know that Mr. Pete is not wired that way...)

[@mrpete222]

Yes, no good way no easy way

[@jcjones57]

I plan on using a small machinist square laid along side of the grinding wheel and then scribing a line on the edge of the tool rest. Then remove the tool rest and carefully mill a straight edge on the front of the tool rest to the scribed line and of course reassembling the tool rest to the grinder. Please let me know if this has been tried and failed for some reason.

Actually the diamond nib should be on or near the centerline of the wheel. This may require tilting the tool rest downward a few degrees.

[@cncmoldsnstuff4423]

I am watching the video and it's very entertaining but for anybody who might be scared off diamond nibs can be had for under $10. Most of those are quarter carrots so that might be the reason for the big price difference. Of course quality unknown or buyer beware.
