made this today out of scrap in the garage, works like a charm and when you have finished it packs up and out of the way.bob

Now all you have to do is get rid of the grey wheel and replace it with a white aluminium oxide wheel.
The white wheels are a lot kinder to HSS tools as they do not overheat the steel like a grey emery wheel does.
The grey wheel is primarily for grinding steel.

good one Bob, looks nice and functional. What angle did you set the 'leg' at ?
is it specific to the angle you need on the tool edge..?
