Grinder Tool-Rest Gauge Makes Setting Easy
Oct 25, 2005
When going from the coarse to the fine stone on my bench grinder, I always had trouble getting the tool rests at the same angle. The solution was to develop a simple shop-built gauge. With this two-piece adjustable 1/4-in. plywood gauge, I can now align the tool rests with ease, assuming the grinding wheels are about the same diameter. Starting on the coarse wheel, I position the gauge to the tool rest I then move the gauge to the fine wheel and adjust the tool rest to the gauge.
