Need recomendation on book for learning how to fully exploit a surface grinder

For that you'd want a tool & cutter grinder, not a surface grinder.

============ Part of an email response I made to a similar question asked several months ago:

I've sharpened old taps and the cutter head of my woodworking jointer between centers on my surface grinder. The setup is very simple, two dead centers to hold the work and a piece of broken hacksaw blade fixed up to support the flute being sharpened. The difficulty is in setting it all up precisely, which really depends on what you have to work with.

Advanced Machine Work from Lindsay has a good section on cutter grinding.

I'd love to have a t&c grinder and I recently passed on one because the Norton I could have likely brought home had too big a foot print to fit in my garage, er shop. A 6x18 surface grinder would fit and I'm just trying to learn as much on how to use one to it's fullest potential.

Milling and lathe work seems rather self evident but anything other than making something flat with a surface grinder has me mystified. I sure wish Harold lived next door. :) Maybe he could explain how to use my Leadwell Tangi-Matic too.

I found this on Lindsey,

That's the one. The first few pages look the same, although Lindsay's reprint is cleaner. I can't download very fast from home.

If you can swivel the grinding head on your machine you can make good use of dish and cup wheels to grind on the side. Otherwise you may have to grind on the top.
