I recently won an auction which included a mixed bag of attachments for tool & cutter and other grinders. The auction was to clear the workshop of a closed company who had specialised in making and sharpening cutters of all kinds. Mostly carbide milling cutters and timber working cutters made on ANCA CNC grinders, but also a whole lot of old manual grinding machinery. The attachments were not kept with the machines, so it was a bit of a mess.
I know what most of the attachments are for, but not this one.
There is no name on it, but the chart seems to be written in German and says "Clearance Angle Table". That is a Google translation, so it may be incorrect.
There are some cast-in part numbers which begin with "BSG". Searching with these letters found a German company "Kaindl" who make grinding equipment, some with the model prefix "BSG", e.g. drill sharpeners. But I couldn't see anything that looked like this.
There is a main barrel with a crank handle on one end and a smaller barrel (black oxide finish with an internal morse taper) inside the main barrel.
When the locking pin on the crank handle is withdrawn, you can rotate the main part of the barrel. What is interesting however is that the smaller barrel then rotates inside the main barrel, but in the opposite direction and at roughly twice the speed.
Any ideas what this attachment is for and who made it?
Thanks for any help!
