DIY Surface grinder

[Robin Hewitt]

My angle grinder has now burnt out trying to descale this stuff. Ordered a replacement and a bigger, slower one. More Watts, less frantic...

More delays. The 9" angle grinder arrived with a broken plug and has to go back.

However I fitted the gusset plates so my Z axis now stands erect.



Thanks to the wonders of CNC the holes laser cut in the 12mm plates line up perfectly with the holes I drilled and threaded in the RSJ.

Next comes the bit I have been putting off. Boring the spindle bearing housing using my little ML10. It's 19cm long. I can't chuck it so it looks like a face plate job.

Taking a bit longer than expected. I keep losing tools, screws, bearings and stuff then waiting for the postman to replenish me...
