Guys, I need a bit of help.
Right out of the gate, I am not a grinding house!!!
I do some surface grinding for internal needs, but that's it.
OTOH, have never touched an ID/OD grinder ....
Until now!
I have gotten a hand-me-down Covel 512 unit.
Came from a customer that have replaced it with something new.
The unit is complete with the 5C head, tailstock, ID attachment and a few hubs. Fairly clean state and everything seems to work.
Was told that it holds a few tenths without any issues.
So, my question is: I have 3 pieces of shafts to make, and I figured I'll test my hands grinding 2X bearing journals on each.
I only have to hold .0005 total, but they also need to be concentric w/in .0002
So, I was thinking to just put it between centers and go ....
Problem: I don't know how to drive it on the head side?
I thought there were some 5C face drivers ... No
Then perhaps some straight shank face drivers ... No
So the question: How do I drive it with the 5C head?
Thank You
