BM-450A Tool and Cutter Grinder

[pcx]

Hi Guys,
About 3 years ago there was a thread with a member looking for a manual for one of these machines.
It seems that this grinder has been made by a number of factories and marketed by even more machinery dealers.
Does any have a copy of a manual for this machine.
I have searched the web and had no luck but I am sure that there is one somewhere.
I am particularly interested in end mill and slot drill grinding on this machine.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Can you throw up a picture of the machine please - it's the best way to positively ID the machine.

Here is a picture. Not my actual machine but it is the same model.
Thanks for any help.

Not quite the same thing, but this should get you close.

Thanks for that Bob.
I have already downloaded this manual, but the G198 is a far more capable and complicated grinder.
In fact I was going to buy a G198 but decided that I should really try to figure out how to use the BM-450A. I bought it years ago and really only used it to sharpen a couple of lathe tools but couldn"t work out how to set it up to sharpen end mills so it has been sitting at the back of the shed.
I would really like to have some information to get me started.
Maybe I just neeed to get to it and have a go.

I'm unclear on what you are asking.

Do you want to sharpen the ends or the flutes?
Do you have the attachments needed?(or is that what you are asking?)

What I am asking is does anyone have a copy of the manual, or where to obtain one, for this mahine.
I would like to sharpen some endmills on it. Both the ends and the flutes.
I think that I can set up to do the ends. Might not be the best way to do it but I think I can make it work.
However I would also like to know what else can be done with this machine.
As far as I can tell from the pictures I have been able to find on the net, I have all of the standard accessories that came with it.
I just do not know how to use it properly.

I thought the number was familiar. I have one of those including a manual.
PM me an address and I'll see if a copy accidentally falls in a post box.
