Sharpening workshop tools is probably the activity that is least understood by most home machinists. Tool & Cutter Sharpening for Home Machinists shows how to perform most workshop sharpening tasks without any need for expensive tools and a cutter grinder.
This book shows you how to keep home workshop cutters and tools sharp and in good condition. It offers a simple design for a shop-made grinding rest, and accessories that can be used with an off-hand grinder to sharpen tools to a standard comparable to using much more sophisticated equipment. Instructions are provided for sharpening most workshop tools, including drills, lathe tools, end mills, milling cutters, hand tools, and woodworking tools.
Inside Tool & Cutter Sharpening, author Harold Hall presents simple, effective, and inexpensive solutions for most sharpening tasks, showing how they can be carried out using just an off-hand grinder and a few accessories. Containing fully illustrated step-by-step directions with photographs and technical drawings, this must-have guide is packed with essential information for the home machine shop enthusiast, model engineer, or serious metalworker.
“It doesn’t take the beginning machinist long to realize that sharp cutting tools are a necessity, especially on hobby-sized equipment. Thus the hobbyist starts down the long and often difficult road of learning how to sharpen and maintain cutting tools using a variety of fixtures and specialized machinery. Fortunately, there is an easier way. Harold Hall, one of the leading model engineering authors, presents a straightforward and effective approach that will be welcome by both beginners and experienced machinists alike. With the common bench grinder serving as a foundation, this book describes how to build and use a simple grinding rest and fixtures to tackle any sharpening task that may face the home machine (or wood) shop.”
