Love your video's, you do a great job of explaining how and why. I always wondered what the proper way to sharpen a tap was, makes total sense as I have bought a fair load of used taps and have some fairly short ones with the ends obviously shortened. Thanks for the great content and, appropriately, don't let the bastards grind you down, there are way too many folks who want to be hall monitors and I'm pretty sure none of them have your talent in your field! Thanks again!

Wow, you have some great accessories. I'm thinking the accessories are worth as much if not more than the actual grinder. Cheers👍

Good morning I really like your content. I have a Cincinnati number two cutter grinder with a lot of attachments. I was wondering if you could go through your attachments and show each one how they work that would Great thank you and I enjoy your content very much. I’ve learned a lot already.

Good day to you sir. Thank you for the kind words! If you look back through our videos you will find we have already done vids on a number of different attachments/fixtures. I will make up a playlist that features T&C grinding exclusively so keep an eye out for it. More to come. Cheers!

Just one question, is the axial movement designed to accommodate grinding the flanks of the teeth if the wheel is shaped to the tooth profile? I have just discovered your site and am enjoying your videos a lot.
@LappemountainlivingАй бұрын
In this example the wheel is dressed flat and the main purpose of the axial movement is to match the grain of the grind to the pitch of the tap. To grind the profile of the teeth would require that the tap is advancing at exactly it's pitch. This would require the rotation of the tap to be linked to a lead screw. My equipment isn't designed to do this and doesn't have a lead screw to drive the table. Thanks for watching!

Great info again, thanks! Newbie question, what’s your preferred method for getting the center height. My TOS tool and cutter grinder has a wheel head that can be raised and lowered so not a fixed height so I’m not sure a center height gauge is the right tool for the job in my case.. Any thoughts? Thanks from Scotland!
@Lappemountainliving4 ай бұрын
Thanks for the comment! My go to for finding center (or any other height) is a dial height gauge. Say you want to match the height of a fixture you can measure a diameter on your fixture that is concentric to the axis with say a caliper. zero your height gauge on your table. then touch your height gauge off on the top of the diameter you measured. Subtract 1/2 the diameter and there's your center. Record that measurement and then adjust your spindle height using your caliper and height gauge as you see fit. Hope this helps Cheers!

There may be an error when using a Papago translator. First of all, thank you for the good information. I'm a 29-year-old man who marches end mill and drill in Korea. Since I'm a beginner, I think there is a formula for calculating the tip angle according to RPM, but I even watched an overseas video while looking for it. It's a question that has nothing to do with the video, but after re-marinating the drill, the lifespan of the drill has been reduced. In this case, should the tip angle be reduced or raised? Is there a formula?
@Lappemountainliving4 ай бұрын
Thank you for the comment. I'm not 100% sure I understand your question but I will attempt to answer. Drill bits normally have a cutting angle of 118 or 135 degrees and the angle should be maintained regardless of how many times its been sharpened. I am not aware of any correlation between RPM and tip angle. Tap lead in angles are usually described as taper, plug and bottoming. The angle does not need to be changed as the tap is sharpened over and over again. Hope this answers your question.

Gotta love those safety nazis. So the other method is between centers?
@Lappemountainliving5 ай бұрын
Indeed. I touched briefly on grinding the tooth face . That was the other method I was referring to. I'm not a huge fan of that method so I didn't go into it too deep. I suppose you could consider between centers a different method or just a different work holding option for the same method. Thanks for watching! Cheers.
