Product Description
Product Description
Sharpening workshop tools is probably the most diverse of all workshop activities and the one that is least understood by the majority of workshop owners. This is not unreasonable in view of the wide range of equipment suggested for the task, ranging from the complex (typically an industrial tool and cutter grinder) through to the humble off hand grinder. This book illustrates how most sharpening tasks can be carried out using an off hand grinder and a few simply made accessories to a standard comparable to that achieved using much more sophisticated equipment. Follow the instructions in this book and working with blunt tools will be a thing of the past! "The Workshop Practice Series" is the world's leading range of books for model engineers and mechanical crafts: some of the books have been in print for 50 years; most of them still reprint every 18 months. It is fully illustrated step-by-step with photographs and technical drawings.

38. Tool and Cutter Sharpening
Sharpening workshop tools is probably the most diverse of all workshop activities and the one that is least understood by the majority of workshop owners. This is not unreasonable in view of the wide range of equipment suggested for the task, ranging from the complex, typically an industrial tool and cutter grinder, through to the humble off hand grinder.
This book illustrates how most sharpening tasks can be carried out using an off hand grinder and a few simply made accessories, whilst doing this to a standard comparable to that achieved using much more sophisticated equipment.
A lack of understanding of the processes almost certainly results in the workshop owner attempting tasks with far from perfect cutting tools that can diminish the satisfaction of a job well done. With the information in this book this situation can be avoided and working with blunt tooling should be a thing of the past.

Typical Harold Hall. Clear and with a good mix of practical and theory.
I was really enjoying this book until I came to Chapter 10 when part way through I found myself reading Chapter 8 again. Chapters 11, 12 and 13 were completely missing.
Amazon replaced this copy with an identical one. I wonder if they read the reason for returning a book; after all they do ask for one.
Sorry Harold, perhaps YOU should have a word with the printers.
Never mind, I'm hooked now, let's see what the second replacement brings.

If you want to sharpen your own drills, lathe tools and milling cutters then this is the book for you. Clear diagrams and good hints.
It's weak on woodworking tools so I'd go elsewhere if that's what you want to do.
As another reviewer say's the book with apostrophe's s'cattered all over the place is'in dire need of proofreading and sentence's are often muddled up.
If you can make sense of the last sentence then you'll be alright.

Having tried to sharpen drills and lathe tools on the bench grinder in the past without having much of a clue what I was doing I can now see why the results were less than satisfactory. This book explains all you need to know, it's more complicated than it looks. The book covers sharpening of all the tools encountered in the home workshop, not just drills and lathe tools, but also milling cutters, slitting saws and woodworking tools to. For less than the price of one decent cutter it should repay the investment in no time at all. Oh, and all the pages were correct in my copy.
