Inexpensive carbide tool grinder
I picked up a Harbor Freight sale flier a few months ago and noted that the #96687 saw blade sharpener was 40% off and I had a 20% off coupon. So 35$ fetched me one home. I had no idea how well it'd work but I figured the motor and odds N ends included had to be worth that.
So I simply took it out of the box and partialy assembled it to the point of having a rest for the tools. The motor tilts upto 10° either direction so the flat rest is no problem. I had bought some cheap china made brazed carbide tools 80 pc set and some boring bars. None of thos tools was ground correctly and to get any use out of them they needed a good touch up. It has done a wonderful job so far and much better than eating the grit from an SC grinder wheel. It is no baldor but maybe it will keep my carbide sharp until I stumble across a good deal on one.
