When you cast metal, you are left with a very rough surface, and with a part that's not dimensionally accurate.
take a look at this video about 1:45 in.

You will cook it, before you get close enough actually touch the electrode. :eek:
When firing a heat they make one hell of a sound. I've witnessed it several times in person, and nothing I've ever heard comes close.
That's what I did, though I made my bases out of aluminum. They are cheap, small and work great.
I'd echo what Reed said, CBN turning inserts (for metal working) are recommended for materials over 45 HRC. High carbon steels like 1085 & 1095, are well over that in their hardened state.
Thanks for the update, I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on one for my new grinder, and it's good to hear that it's still flat.
Derek,
Any chance you can give us an update? How is the flat wheel doing at grinding chisel and plane blades 9 months later, are they still nice ant strait?
Are you wanting them just for helping with dovetail work? If so, you would probably be better served buying a small bench chisel or two and making dovetail, skew, or fishtail chisels out of them.
This is a simplified & illustrated guide.

I ordered a pound of 192 gram granuals, and it' supposed to be here tomorrow so I'll see how it goes.
I was going to do a double boiler style set up, using a single element electric stove I have. I use it all the time when I need to heat up wax, oil, or epoxy. for as cheap as it was it works really...
Thanks for all the info guys, I'll order some hot hide glue this evening!
I need to make some storage boxes for metrology instruments, and the research I have done recommends staying away from modern white & yellow glues, as they can out gas chemicals that can damage the...
Brass isn't cheap, and the tite-mark looks to be a one piece head turned out of solid bar stock, so it looks like he is spending a lot more on material than he needs to. The LV gauge is a two piece...

That's a pretty presumptuous statement. Have you considered that some people might live in areas of the country where used tools aren't readily available, or that they don't want to take the 50/50...
Perhaps its because I come from a fairly technical background, but to me a lot of the boutique hand tools are over priced. I see lots of designs that aren't optimized to minimize production time, or...
last night I sat down and redesigned the bench/stand. The lathe will mount directly to the top of the legs, and the two large stretchers will add a lot of rigidity and weight. They will also give me...
What does everyone think of a stand like this?
I would add a top stretcher, and mount the lathe to that instead of directly to the legs. I could also keep my under the lathe tool storage. I'm...
For tool storage, I was planning on making a rack like this, as it will let me keep all the tools right at my finger tips!

hey all, this weekend I acquired a jet 1221 evs, and I need to quickly slap together a bench for it.
Does the design below look decent?

In my opinion the biggest cost of a chisel is the manufacturing and quality assure processes, everything else is cheap by comparison.
I'd recommend chucking it up in a 4 jaw on the lathe and getting it running true. Then Drill, bore, and finally ream. The drill removes the bulk of the material, the Boring bar insures the hole is...
It always amazes me how the simplest of threads turns into a pissing contest......

I think, I've only ever been moderated once. I vaguely remember it being because I wouldn't tip-toe around some members.
