Very nicely finished universal grinder. There is one thing wrong with this and it drives me crazy. Have a read of the article and see if you can tell what it is.
linky

green bit of crap cast on the back and the crappy reused handle and scale down on the front lower left

not to sure about the recycled plastic digital read out either

they are all things that can be addressed, otherwise its pretty

Before I start, it may just be me but...
It's all very pretty etc but that is a lot of effort to make a tool that is then used to make other things.
At my age, life is too short for this sort of thing. If you identify something that needs making in a certain way then get someone to make it. That way you'll have it quicker.
As you may have guessed, the limits of my "machine making" involved welding bits to spanners and a couple of odd shaped hammers!

er, what is it?

Have to agree that life is too short..

Also I don't have a mill so it would be a wast of time, but for a model engineer that would be a fun project!

Bench grinder does all that sharpening I need.
