Black Diamond Drill Grinder – Machining the base for new wheel dressers

With the stock nice and square, the next step is to machine all of the bores for mounting the base to the machine as well as the dressing arms to the base.

Squaring Stock with a 7″ Logan Shaper – Black Diamond Drill Grinder – Making the wheel dressers

My Black Diamond Drill Grinder did not come with either of the wheel dressers. A viewer, Mitchel, offered to create some drawings of the wheel dressers on his Black Diamond. This is the first step in getting working wheel dressers on this machine.

Black Diamond Drill Grinder – Sharpening the First Drill

A few final improvements (outside of the wheel dressers) and the grinder is ready to be put to use. Even though I don’t have the wheel dressers yet, I feel confident I can sharpen a couple of drills just the same.

Tearing down a BW-90 Black Diamond Drill Grinder

I picked up this BW-90 Black Diamond Drill Grinder a while ago, hoping to put it to use sharpening drills. It came with a bunch of collets. It’s missing the wheel and the wheel dressers, but I have a plan for those.

But first, I need to tear it down and clean it. This things is a mess.

Rescuing a Rockwell Delta 6 in. Tool Grinder – Starting assembly and making some new parts

Starting to put this grinder back together. I had to redo the wiring that I should not have cut in the first place, and it was missing one of the centering rings for the grinding wheel. Still experimenting with the microphone. 🙂

Rescuing a Delta Rockwell Tool Grinder Learning to Braze

Almost everything I have ever done in my shop, I did for the first time in my shop. Today was no exception. I wanted to do just a little more on this tool grinder, so I opted to braze a piece of hot rolled steel onto the cast iron end bell that had been broken. It was definitely a learning experience.

Rescuing a Rockwell Delta 6 in. Tool Grinder – Disassembly

I bought this 6″ double ended tool grinder at auction last year. It is corroded with grinding dust and needs a little TLC. In this video I get it disassembled but still have to decide if I am going to paint it or not.
