I bought one of these from a local boot sale, a Rexon WG180A planer blade wet grinder.
Drew this in CAD and got my buddy Andrew to cut it out of and old ally sign on his cnc plasma
Bent it like so
And added a $10 Chinese diamond flat-lap disc.
Voila - one cheap-ass lapping tool for carbide scrapers total outlay about £50 including the disc. It might look rougher than a badger's arse but it does the job and very well. Adjustable angle from about +20 to -45 degrees and a nice slow 350rpm. It's fitted with a 8" disc in the pic but the 6" ones work just as well. I made a backing plate but I have found that two discs stacked on the normal hub works too, and you don't even need a fancy stand, just screw it to a board and make a rest from some timber.
Anyway, it's an option instead of a $$$ glendo.
