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.
