Gentlefolk,



I've just purchased the kit for the Worden Tool and Cutter grinder. Has anyone here built one, and if so do they have any advice, warnings etc. to offer ?



Also, I have a vague recollection of seeing a write-up on building this kit in one of the comics some time ago, but I can't find it now - can anyone point me in the right direction ?



TIA.

I can't think of any problems building one awhile back. Somewhere I have on file scans of the MEW articles John Stevenson refers to. Please let me know if you need them, either by Email or post.

Thanks for the encouragement.

As a matter of interest, ref another thread in this ng: how did you produce the 3" by 3/4" hole in the cast iron Sliding Block ?

AFAIR - mark hole position and deep centre (with centre drill in drilling m/c) put in the four-jaw chuck and true up. progressive drill to 47/64" ream at 3/4"
