Hi,
just wondering if anybody out there has made a tool post grinder for grinding crankshafts on a lathe, Probably a silly question because I know for sure it has been done before. I have checked out the web and seen a few types, I have also thought of modifying a 5" angle grinder and mounting either a silica type wheel ( the white one) or a diamond wheel. I don't know how well this will work due to the backlash in the bevel gear setup. Just after some idea's at the moment. Or plans. any help will be greatly appreciated. Below is the machine I will be mounting a grinder to. and also a possible diamond wheel to be used. I am also not sure how the wheel would go grinding hardened and tempered 4140 steel with 0.010" material to be removed
Regards Barry.
