Bench grinder setup Pt. 2
January 15, 2016 2 Comments
A CBN grinding wheel is a significant purchase, usually costing a significant portion of what the grinder it will be mounted to did, and in some cases even more. Additionally, it can’t be trued like a traditional aluminum oxide wheel, so care must be taken minimize wobble & run-out. In the following video, I show how I made a bushing to mount a D-way 180 grit CBN wheel to my grinder. Besides centering the wheel on the shaft, the bushing was also designed to act as a space that would accurately center the wheel inside the housing.

Can you grind a profile for a spindle or bowl gouge?
Hi Steven,
In the last post if the series, you can see that I have a Wolverine jig mounted to the stand.

I just remove the work surface from the rest, and use the jig. However, if I was so inclined I could leave the work surface on and freehand grind the gouges.
