Hi All,
I stumbled into a small hoard of what I think are jig grinding mandrels, probably from a Moore #2. Example picture should be included showing a few of the diamond bits, but there are regular abrasive stones as well. I don't have much experience with grinding operations, so a couple of questions...
Are these correctly ID'd as jig grinding mandrels?
I don't have a jig grinder, so what else can I do with them?
I have a Dumore flex shaft die grinder, would it be uncouth to use these in the die grinder? My ignorant brain thinks they look the same as die grinder bits except for the larger diameter shaft. Actually, I don't mind if it is uncouth - is there any reason to not use them this way?
Would the diamond tools in a tool post grinder get around the common complaint/fear that tool post grinders on the lathe are a dodgy proposition die to the excess grinding dust? I would think that since the abrasive is designed to stay in the bit that one could accomplish a relatively clean grinding operation.
Any other clever ideas?
Thanks,
Mike
