Insert Carbide Tips. No one sharpens any more.

point taken Phil....but that reason doesnt seem to be the case over there....with them still available new from one of the best bench grinder manufacturers in the world...ie Baldor, plus all the imports of course

I think in Harold Halls book on Tool and Cutter Sharpening WPS 38, he gives details on how to make a set up similar that? Have seen a couple around somewhere, can't quite remember where though. Wouldn't be that hard for an experienced person like yourself to make one . I'm pretty sure it's a simple tool and cutter grinder.

I've seen something like that at Hafpos in the past, doesn't seem to be in their catalogue at the moment though.

There was a good post on here recently, someone added grinding tables to a standard bench grinder.

I think Brobo Walden used to make one.
I have one (not a Brobo) that looks very similar to the one on the pic, though mine, being of asian origin (not sure now if its Taiwan or China) is probably not as good a quality.
I inherited mine from my father. I think he bought it new. I can't remember if its a H&F one or a Toolex. I haven't used it yet even though I've had it since 2003. I know its a heavy little thing.

I have tried Aliexpress but to no luck...some on Alibaba tho but you have to make contact to buy

Brobo/Waldown and GMF both used to make them. I have seen them about in workshops.

Yep used to be a lot around with the drip oiler type lube system for coolant . Won't find a better way to sharpen or make a tool for the lathe they are outstanding.

Here's waiting for someone to come up with a source..
