Thread: robo-rest

Been looking at that since Reed out it up. Velly intelisting.

A great post Neil. Thank you

All I need is a couple of CBN wheels like him - no I won't be greedy, just one would do and the rest looks dead easy to make for someone like you. Maybe another Hughie special on the way.

I like its simplicity and have often thought about a large flat tool rest, although I'd have to make one out of timber.

Cheers,
Paul

Reed Gray has a sharpening jig on the market now.

Hey John,
Someone else has already posted it below, and there is some discussion already on it.

Good demo, Robo Hippy!

Two threads merged to keep it in one place

Apologies to the moderators,
Hi Ed & Croccy!

Howdy John and Richard!

I had fun making it, and think I got the simple and efficient part down fairly well. That keeps it cheap. I don't think shipping way down there would be practical. If some one is interested in making them there, you would need CNC laser and break/bending tools. You can PM me.

Trying to convert the woodturning world back to free hand turning, one turner at a time...... I blame it all on Stuart and Allen Batty when I took a 3 day workshop with them several years back.

Hey Art...see what happens when the mods forget to lock the front door! Just about anyone can amble in!

robo hippy,

I really like the simplicity of the design and practical way of adjustment, all in all a good tool. I'm tempted to build something similar for myself down the track.
