How much does Giganews charge?
Newsguy charges (among other prices) $9.95/Month for a download
limit of 9GB/Month (back when I joined -- it keeps growing over time,
and I naver get close to the download limit so it keeps accumulating).
Or , you can go $99.50 per year (so you get two months free by the
monthly pricing) -- or there are various other ones with other limits if
you need more.
Enjoy,
DoN.

HSS lathe tooling you can grind with almost any wheel. Carbid tooling
requires a green wheel for roughing and a diamond wheel to finish the
edge. If you don't finish the edge your surface finishes will be
rougher than they would be with a diamond finished tool. You can also
get a diamond file to finish the edge. On some HSS tooling for special
jobs I use a dremel grinder since I have more control with it.
A 1/3 hp motor is plenty for tool grinding.

Please log in for more thread options John, thanks. I think that I will set up a dedicated grinder for lathe
bits. 1/3 HP. One wheel will be green and another, diamond.

Please log in for more thread options For anyone that hasn't read the hundreds(?) of worthwhile past discussions
concerning abrasives for sharpening cutting tools, consider yourself cheated
by your own neglect.
Harold V and others have given all the advice that any HSM would likely ever
need to know, on the subject of sharpening, resharpening or grinding of
cutting tools (and the proper use and care of abrasive wheels).
But how could one ever find that info now, I wonder.

This is from Harold via my anti spam account. I don't check it often but saw it
today.
I am unable to post to RCM, thanks to my moronic ISP, who doesn't get the
picture that, somehow, posts that appear on their server are not being
forwarded to the news group. No amount of complaining, not only by me, but
by others, has made any difference to them. Things went south about March
of this year and have not improved. I still read when I have time, but not
on a regular basis.
These guys desperately need to read some information on tool grinding. All
too much BS is being promoted.
Some time ago I posted (on the Chaski board) several threads revolving
around grinding HSS, chip breakers, wheel selections and grinders in
general. The posts were very extensive----and contain information that
could benefit even seasoned machinists.
I was contacted by a party that suggested I post them in a common place for
others to download. Not wanting to appear as a know-it-all----I suggested
that it likely wouldn't appear to be the wise thing to do, but if he wanted
to do it, he had my permission. I don't consider anything I'm willing to
post as being anything worthy of protection, and it should be available for
anyone that has confidence in my opinion. As a result, he compiled all of
the posts, which are now available for download free of charge.
I'm going to provide links to the Chaski board that lead to the three
threads, and I'll also provide the link that leads to the compiled posts for
those that might want to download everything as a unit. Feel free to post
the information on RCM---or even to copy this and post it directly if you
feel it's worthwhile to do so.
