I am pretty new to machining. I purchased a Dumore 44 tool post grinder and I want to mount it to a Logan Lathe.
The grinder works fine except I still need to purchase a number 2 pulley for it. I'll probably have to purchase some wheels for it too. I have one that seems to be in good shape for now.
The grinder is about .135" tall of the spindle center line. Is that a big deal to be that far above the spindle center line?
I can chuck up the tool post stand and remove some of the base to make up some of the difference. I might be able to remove .135" from the base of the grinder base, but this would leave me with about .075" for the flange thickness.
I want to get the tool post grinder set up correctly (or close to it) before I start to grind stuff.
Looking forward to some advice. What would you do?
