Tool & Cutter Sharpening for Home Machinists by Harold Hall

Follow the instructions in this book and working with blunt tools will be a thing of the past Sharpening workshop tools is probably the activity that is least understood by most home machinists. Tool and Cutter Sharpening shows how to perform most workshop sharpening tasks without any need for an expensive tool and cutter grinder. It offers a simple design for a shop made grinding rest and accessories, that can be used with a standard off hand grinder to sharpen tools to a standard comparable to using much more sophisticated equipment. Instructions are provided for sharpening the majority of workshop tools, including drills, lathe tools, end mills, milling cutters, workshop tools, and woodworking tools. Fully illustrated step-by-step with photographs and technical drawings, this is essential information for the serious metalworker.
