Making a Heavy Duty Tool Post Grinder - Part 1
Offered By: Cutting Edge Engineering Australia via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Embark on a journey to elevate your lathe capabilities by constructing a heavy-duty tool post grinder from scratch. In this 45-minute video, witness the first part of the build process where a robust mount for the top slide is crafted, serving as the foundation for the tool post grinder. Follow along as steel plates are transformed into a precision-engineered component through various machining processes. Begin with a large base plate, utilizing the lathe for drilling and boring to ensure a secure fit on the top slide. Move to the milling machine to drill and tap holes in plates destined to become spindle clamps. Observe the assembly and welding of the plates, followed by a crucial line boring process on the lathe to guarantee perfect alignment and concentricity for the future spindles. Gain insights into using equipment such as the Hafco TM-26120G Centre Lathe, Hafco BM-63VE Milling machine, and WIA 500i Weldmatic welder. Whether you're an experienced machinist or a DIY enthusiast, this build offers valuable inspiration and knowledge for creating shop-made tools.
