Hey Doug,
Excellent job on this fixture! Do you have a set of drawing that one could gain access to or purchase?
I think this would be a great project for anyone who's willing to take it on. Seeing as I just (about 2 weeks now) picked up a tool cutter grinder, and a Brown and Sharpe surface grinder to use to regrind my end Mills and drill bits among other things.
I am one of those guy's who likes to make things!
Razor!

Razor Ray - we are actually very close to launching our Plans Marketplace (details here: Plans Marketplace Coming Soon… ).

"Do you have plans?" is by far the #1 request we receive, and very soon we'll be able to say: "Yes".

Hi Razor
Thanks for the compliment
I did design and use cad to develop this tool, As I made the parts I found a change or two while I was machining them, I am in the process of going over and checking the drawings thoroughly before I submit them to HomeMadeTools.net market place for sale, I should be done by the weekend, My intentions are to submit them by 4-11-16 or sooner

Thank You
Doug

That's awesome! Thanks for the heads-up!

That's very cool Doug. If there affordable for a guy like me on a fixed income, I will be acquiring a set!
From the pics, you did an outstanding job!

This is an extremely difficult award to win, requiring an extraordinary amount of ingenuity in a community with many skilled builders.

There are some other very talented builders closing in on this award, and we've recently had to add a 25-time award too. We're expecting to hand out the 10-Time Tool of the Week award again over the next few months, but you'll always be the first one. Well done sir.
