Single-lip cutter grinder - Details and uses

Interessanter Kanal/Videos. ABER nicht jeder kann so gut englisch,von daher wären deutsche Untertitel eine tolle Sache!

Helpful video. I have the PP-U3 which is very similar. I would also advocate wearing a particulate mask to protect against silica inhalation and ear plugs too for the high pitched whistle of the wheel..
One the grinder is set for a job, take a photo of the settings for the next batch before moving on to a different job.

Perhaps you already answered this question, but I didn't find it in the comments. Where do you get the hubs and what kind are they? Also where do you get the hub wrench? I just picked up a 5c model and having separate hubs is only rational.

Thanks for covering this grinder Stefan, it's been on my wish list for a while, but with a T&C grinder and a Darex E90 endmill sharpener already, obviously isn't as urgent as it would otherwise be.

One flaw I've noticed with the grinder is what looks like no adjustment on the angle of the diamond dresser. This will mean the diamond will become dull instead of being able to be rotated to a fresh sharp face each dressing. i think that would be a good mod to consider as it will make a significant difference to both the wheel dressing and the life of the diamond.

Thank you Stefan:We have this machine in our college workshop. I assign three grinding projects to my students currently. They make an engraving tool for the milling machine, a 60 degree threading tool for the lathe, and a .125 inch wide parting tool also for the lathe. I intend to give them more assignments now that you have released this video which will be used as an introduction to this amazing tool. By having the students make the tools they were breaking the most , we have saved hundreds of dollars per year on expensive cutters and the students pick up a very valuable skill which will serve them well for their entire machining career.

Stif I only just say about this machine Whoopi! Could you say how I own this?

I discovered a site on tuning up one of these chinese knockoff deckel grinders. Very very detailed. http://www.schsm.org/index.php/articles2/utacg

Nicely done Stefan, enjoyed!

Tag Stefan,

I think I know what the timing belt gear is for.... 😉
Thank you for sharing you're knowledge.

Jan-Andries, Nederland.

I always enjoy / appreciate these sorts of videos. 1000 years in the future this is the video that will be playing in a loop next to a SLC in a glass box at the exhibit. Have you done one of these for your engraver? You really should.

I‘m always wondering if the original is called SO or S0 ("Es Oh" vs. "Es-Null"). Looking at the document it seems to be the latter, which would also follow their naming convention of other Deckel machines (G1L, FP2, etc.). I usually call it "Es-Null", but that‘s pure guessing. Frank

Hmmm. A very interesting machine. The Proxxon endmills I use cost 75$ for a set of 3 -- 1, 2, and 3 mm. They plunge. Tiny. I seldom plunge but when I need precisely spaced starter holes I do. I will study this video, my brand-new set of slot drills and the web site and see what I can do. FWIW, there are T&DG kits available in the UK including the Chadwick Quorn. A tough machining proposition. Cheaper than a Deckel for sure but a lot of work.

Hi
You vid made me very interested in the grinder tool sharpener.
I found http://www.ebay.com/itm/CE-110V-Universal-Multi-functional-Cutter-Grinder-Sharpener-End-Mill-Lathe-Tool-/252653694580?hash=item3ad3556e74:g:beAAAOSwEzxYOPHq
On Ebay in the US, shipped from china,
They don't say in this ad what collets are supplied.or if there is ball bearings in the head.
Visually there is some difference from your Hoffman chinese machine.
Thanks for your vids.

Excellent video Stefan!
Will you do more videos on advanced drill bit grinding and lathe bit grinding?
Thanks!

I just checked out a used Deckel S0 grinder, a 1990s model, that the seller listed for $6700 US. Depending what attachments come with it it could be a great deal or not. The machine looked unused. So, yes, the Deckel machines are expensive new or used.

I have wondered about the Deckel grinders: about how they work, their utility and convenience to use. Thanks for the video!

I know one can sharpen drill bits on this but can you do split points?

That is a very interesting tool , Thanks for the share man , Thumbs up !

Excellent, excellent video! Thanks for responding to requests. I learned more watching this than countless hours of web surfing & those silent Charlie Chaplin movies from the factories that make them. Couple questions:- how do you safely cut carbide shanks to length in home shop when you make your own tooling from blanks? - I would have thought the drill re-sharpening & faceting would be a very useful function of machine. You mentioned a pain to set up - do you mean limitation of the machine itself or those particular accessories they provide? Maybe something better you could redesign? I saw one accessory that looked like a V-groove/clamp, presumably for longer/bigger drills? But could you hold smaller size drills in the stock collets?

many sharpening fixtures for end mills have some way to sharpen the length of the cutting edge on the flute. I gather that you feel that to be rather unnecessary and by shortening the end mill by some amount you avoid needing to sharpen any flutes. Have you ever sharpened any flutes and does an end mill with resharpened flutes ever produce as good a surface? (using the end mill at full length for a finishing cut)
