    Default Cutter Grinding Attachment

    This simple little device was offered by Christen for their AF-80 cutter and tap sharpening machine. Looks easy enough to replicate and might just be my next project. Save ruining my good gear with grinding dust and would make repeatability easily achievable.

    Any suggestions for improvement?

    You can buy one from H&F for $500..... Probably import one from China for $50..

    My TC grinder came with one.... handy for grinding screw cutting tools..

    Jeff Beck at Tools4cheap has one for about 105US$.
    It will fit in a medium flat rate box if you leave out the wooden case.

    Buy a cheap camera tripod on ebay and use the head for a great, calibrated three axis grinder jig. I added one of those slotted grinder gismos to mine. I'll see if I can find a photo.

    Kindly disregard my previous. The tripod head makes a great tool rest for the DE grinders we all have. That attachment you show would be better for a T & C grinder.

    If you search Darex on YankBay you'll find a plethora of attachments.
