Making a HEAVY DUTY Tool Post Grinder! | Part 1 | Shop Made Tools

Oops, we forgot to explain WHAT the tool post grinder will be used for 😅It will allow for precise grinding and finishing operations of parts and will be ideal for achieving tight tolerances on things like hardened shafts that usually can't be achieved by machining with inserts, the downside, it is messy and grinding dust can damage the lathe bed ways, so we will definitely be taking precautions when we put it to use😉 🔔Hit the notification bell so you never miss our new weekly video. ✍Leave a comment below with your questions or thoughts. 🔓Get Early Access & Ad Free videos in our Patreon community: www.patreon.com/cuttingedgeengineering 🛒Check out all our CEE Merch here: www.ceeshop.com.au/

One of my favorite machine shop stories I like to tell people is that one time my grandfather threw together his own homemade tool post grinder. Except instead of high quality precision components and a 3-phase motor it was an angle grinder. Oh yeah, and the angle grinder was hose clamped to a boring bar. It's a wonder the man lived to 93.

Along with the week, August is winding down and the Northern Hemisphere begins to ponder the last hot days and the coming of Winter. Happily, Karen and Kurtis are here to distract us from such darkness with another hour of wondrous precision, imagination, and unveiling. Thank you both! Best regards, Alan Berlin

Not only is Kurtis a top Aussie bloke, he epitomises the Aussie spirit... ingenuity and getting the job done... make it yourself, make it better besides, and enjoy that beer afterwards... And Karen seems like top Aussie sheila too... funny, clever and supportive of her Aussie bloke... what a team! Some spindle cam again too - this time with bonus dancing swarf...

Love it when you’re fabricating new tools. Karen, loved the split screen shots to give a close up and distance view of what Kurtis is doing.

Karen and Kurtis hope all is great with you guys. I enjoy the videos and always learn something. Thanks for all the hours and work that goes in to these episodes. Cheers!

Watching you manufacture shop tools never bores me. Your skill in making them and Karen's videography is always enlightening.

I have spent my entire career in precision machining, so it may seem odd that I enjoy your channel so much. The difference is that I worked on very small stuff. Rather than handling work with hoists and hilos, I'd use tweezers as a common method. Insepecting with microscopes and laser mics, checking flatness with prisms, etc.... Over the years, I rarely touched anything larger than my 0-1" micrometers. Working at the scale you do is very interesting to me. THANKS from the rust belt of the USA!

oooh the sexy side of engineering...nothing beats a custom job...

Each of your videos is a real discovery! Thank you for the new knowledge! 🌺💚

Just to say this.... what I LOVE about your videos: No music. Just the sound. Awesome.

For the past year or so, CEE vids have become my best way to end the week. Thank you for the great bedtime stories across the pond.

Hello CEE team, Friday morning greetings from Belgium. A CEE custom tool job, knowing Curtis.... It will be a state of the art custom tool. Can't wait for part 2. Have a great weekend. Paws from Sadie & Ronne.

My favorite channel to watch. In another life.. I should have been a machinist.

As usual, another top shelf job!! Don't forget to stamp the spindle clamps to keep them paired. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

This guy is a great engineer, I've been watching you for 3 years!!!

I've been watching Cutting Edge Engineering for a few years now and Kurtis never ceases to amaze me one hell of a machinist and welder.

Lets go!! So happy to see another friday video. Thankyou Kurtis and Karen

Hi all...i love the work CEE does, i am also a tradesman in a different field,but have learned a lot from watching, keep doing what you are doing .

You always have something fresh to share with us. Love your work keep it up
