grinder setup tools (raptor clones)

[Brent Grooms]

Does anyone have any information on creating a set-up jig (similar to the Raptor tools) to aid in the angle set-up for grinding turning tools?

I know it cannot be hard, but I haven't been able to wrap my brain on how to do it.

A fellow named John Lucas posted a video on youtube which explained how he makes a jig to do exactly what you are looking for, here's the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xbggxj2kgyc

Very interesting video, thanks for posting that. I have a full set of raptor tools and love them, when I used them the first time I then marked on the bottom handle of each tool I use so that I instantly know which angle to use for that tool in the future...takes seconds to setup and grind now. Brent if you end up making your own set please post them for us to see when your done.

Also try Captain Eddy he has allot of good info on you tube and it's all seems to be pretty useful stuff. Besides he pretty funny too.

Thanks for the YT link, I'd been thinking about the same thing.
