After regrinding the VN 12 spindle, the thought of placing a slightly marred endmill holder in there is not appealing. I don't want to mess up the fresh taper!
The holders are not real bad, just have some fretting, in some cases so minor it can barely be picked up with a fingernail.
I want to make a lap, that replicates the spindle bore and taper, and use it to do minor cleanup on the endmill holders.
The lap could be soft, like brass, and use an embedding compound like diamond or carborundum, or steel, and use the "timesaver" non embedding compound.
This is a very minor cleanup - I am not going to try to fix badly dented or spun holders.
Your opinions and advice?
