    Default Comments please on these T & C plans

    Acto tool and cutter grinder plans | eBay

    This is a $70 set of plans for a T & C grinder. Does anyone here know anything about this thing? Comments?

    Looks pretty good. What is the purpose of the sliding counter weight?

    I thought the idea of the rapid traversing table on a T and C grinder was to minimise the risk of overheating. A comment was made about the inadequacies of the plain slides on the No.3 Hercus as compared to roller bearing slides in regards to this issue

    Is it a concern then that the illustrated attachment looks to utilize screws for the movement of the work?

    Still, I imagine that it must work in a satisfactory fashion for the the seller to be proffering the drawings on Ebay,

    A lot less work that a Quorn and I bet less work than I have ahead of me on the Hercus.

    Knock one together Gregory and inform us of it's worth.

    The Description on eBay is a Pain in the Rear when You're trying to read it. The Plans were previously on Ebay earlier this Year. I did do a search and found that they have a Website with some other Plans. The Descriptions can be better Read on their Website. I have no affiliation with the Seller. It would be interesting to know how well they Work. Here is the Weblink http://www.machineryplans.com/Home.aspx .

    See, the intent of my post was to lure someone else into volunteering to build one for the team. I won't have time for a year or so to get into that, but if its any good I might get the plans and get a slow start on it between other things.

    Thank you for the kind offer Roger, but I am not planning to live long enough to finish a Bonelle grinder. (Thirty more years for me tops.)

    You're as bad as I am! I'm trying to convince a friend of mine to build a version of those Reprap 3d printers for plastic parts, because I'd like to have a play with one, but don't want to spend my money making one...
