Tool & Cutter Sharpening: No. 38 (Workshop Practice Series)

Having tried to sharpen drills and lathe tools on the bench grinder in the past without having much of a clue what I was doing I can now see why the results were less than satisfactory. This book explains all you need to know, it's more complicated than it looks. The book covers sharpening of all the tools encountered in the home workshop, not just drills and lathe tools, but also milling cutters, slitting saws and woodworking tools to. For less than the price of one decent cutter it should repay the investment in no time at all. Oh, and all the pages were correct in my copy.

Excellent service

This well written book is an excellent introduction to the subject of tool and clutter grinding. It has good advice for those with a humble bench grinder to those aspiring to a dedicated precision setup. The writing style is clear and grammatically sound, however those who have grown up with modern, informal (lightweight) communication may find they have to concentrate a little harder..! The value in this style of writing is that a lot of information is conveyed efficiently. Although a modern readership may have come to expect full colour photos and 3D renderings, the monochrome pictures and diagrams do the job well enough if one remembers that it is the advice and technical content which is important, not how good it looks on the coffee table..! A good, compact, and valuable book at a very (very) reasonable price. Well worth it..!

Bought as a set for my garage workshop, great little book full of useful information.

This book gives a good guide to tool sharpening, I’m a relative beginner to this side of things and it helped make sense out of concepts explained from a lot of other sources such as YouTube. The explanations are clear

I just love this man's approach to all things engineering, no bull just sensible practical ways to get over problems.

If you want to sharpen your own drills, lathe tools and milling cutters then this is the book for you. Clear diagrams and good hints. It's weak on woodworking tools so I'd go elsewhere if that's what you want to do. As another reviewer say's the book with apostrophe's s'cattered all over the place is'in dire need of proofreading and sentence's are often muddled up. If you can make sense of the last sentence then you'll be alright.

Yet again these little books from the Workshop Practice Series live up to their reputation. Who'd have thought you could sharpen an end mill. There is so much in here it beggars belief. I highly recommend this book and all those in the series.

Excellent practical tech advice on cutter sharpening in this text, and no fluff or unnecessary complication. Good value for money.

I found this useless. You can grind something 100 different ways. All that matters is in the end you have the correct geometry. Out of the 100 different ways I wouldn't use the methods in this book. Use your money and buy the machinery handbook.

Detailed plans for home made grinder rest and jigs provided. The book is very detailed and highlights the importance of accuracy and repeatability in the sharpening process. Typically acceptable results are not possible without some form of jig.

Buono

Dieser Titel ist super! Das Anfertigen einer hochwertigen SChleifauflage wird in allen Details erklärt ebenso wie das Tuning einer Schleifmaschine. Dann gibt es Tipps für das Neuschleifen von Bohrern, Fräsern, Drehstählen, Sägeblättern, Stech- und Hobeleisen usw. also fast alles was der Bastler so schärfen möchte wird erklärt. Dazu sollte man gut Englich können und Tante Google oder ein gutes Lexikon dabei haben, denn es gibt natürlich jede Menge engl. Fachbegriffe. Das Ganze ist in Harold Hall - typischer lockerer Sprache abgefasst, kurzum ein Vergnügen zu lesen! Für den Preis habe ich noch nichts adäquates deutschsprachiges gefunden.
