Really nice job. I like the locking hinge and sliding table top. Very clever. Thank you for showing all the detail.

@@VanoverMachineAndRepair You're welcome. Let me know if you have other homemade tool videos that we can share.

That is a very nice build Kyle, I love the locking hinges, that's an ingenious design and works very well sir! The only thing that I would like to see added to your build is an angle pointer and scale mounted to either one of the table arms with the scale on the side of the machine so that you can set the angle of the table accurately. This will enable you to touch up small inserts to the original specification properly. I would like to have seen how you did the motor and drive set up as well. Ten out of ten for the build though, I love it! On top of that it was good to see you using a great bit of British iron to make your turned parts ie the Colchester lathe. Sadly the company has gone and it was from my home County of Essex in England made in Colchester which incidentally was the Earliest Roman settlement in England in 49AD. The Romans called it Camulodunum.

Absolutely thanks. Motor is in part 1

Very cool build. I built myself a slow speed carbide grinder earlier this year to get into hand scraping. Now that I have it, I use it on all kinds of other tooling, and this revealed an issue with my design and I think you will run into the same thing too. If you want to sharpen something long that needs to be sharpened from the side (like a HSS blank for example) the table pivots might be in your way. Looking back at the accufinish design I now understand why everything is tucked away underneath it. It will work flawlessly for its intended purpose but it’s one of those tools that work so well and is so handy that you will want to use it on all sorts of stuff.

great project, you should think of adding a cover to the battery hole, as it is right now it will basically act as a funnel and send all the grinding dust and dirt straight to the battery contacts and cause some shenanigans later on

Great video. I’ve watched 3 or 4 of these slow speed disc grinder builds and really like your hinge/table geometry. Not sure I’m ready for the collet-clamp machining though. Curious if tapered cones & sockets might provide similar clamping force… I’m no engineer, so maybe there’s a downside to that approach that’s not obvious to me. Any thoughts?
