Id love to meet this guy! Ive been in the trade for around 20 years, learned from old school guys and i usually pick up something with each video. Its really nice to see guys like don making videos. Grinding is quickly becoming a lost art.

Another great lesson Don! You have a knack for teaching.Thank you for sharing your expertise!

What a fantastic opportunity to learn from an expert. Thank you for these videos.

Very informative video, you are a "natural" presenter Don, and you really make it enjoyable for us to share your shop and company. Thank you for this and all your other videos that you have produced and uploaded. Regards,

Thank you for all the time and resources you have shared with us. Sorry that so many people nit pick everything. I take each video and learn as much as I can and see the wisdom of a lifetime of experience. So many ways to do things. Each different way is like a tool in my toolbox. Each one has a purpose and method of use. Thank you for adding many tools to my toolbox!

In this case, I'd side grind it. I don't like how the wheel breaks down but I do like that there is less room for error (if the rolls on the sine was off a few tenths of worn gage blocks or the 45 degree dress was slightly off) as examples. Only thing I would have done differently is dress the side of the wheel before reliving it. Pretty much everything Ive learned was from guys like you, Old time toolmakers. I've been a toolmaker for 15 years now and feel lucky I am able to do what I do for a living. Great videos BTW!

Really appreciate the instructional video here. I'm getting ready for a grinder in my shop, and this got me even more ready.

This is awesome because I just found out a couple days ago that I'm inheriting a surface grinder, so I've been feeling the need to learn how to use it. I knew Suburban Tool would have some good info, but I didn't expect to see this pop up in my email, showing such a cool technique for doing far more with the machine than I knew was possible. :)

Thank you for your effort in doing this video and saw us skills and technicks taking a life to master

Another great informative vid don thank you

Thanks Don! Very informative. My introduction to surface grinding was in high school where i worked at NHBB regrinding carbide cutting tools used for mfg of ball bearings. We did a lot of side wheel using dished diamond wheels and was always curious about using a standard wheel as you have shown. i was unsure of the wheel could take the side load, sure seems like it can.

Excellent video. Grinding small snap gages can be a challenge

ya know Don, as i am just learning surface grinding, i have come to a sigh of relief. realizing that having my taft peirce no.1with its tilting head

Lots of information as usual ❤️❤️

well done! I like this video

Thank you for this informative video.

Great info on selecting wheel hardness and the two solutions to doing the same work. Now teach Glenn about how a closeup is better when not from 10ft away. lol Maybe including some hi res still pictures of the parts and finish or even just doing closeup pics of the parts on a table would be of benefit as well.

Great video.

Great!!!

Don... that was wonderful!
