How's your machining
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.

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!

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.

But I suppose that most of those would also say the same about us and our cars.
