Grinder basics....
How in the ($@&%(* do I measure/set the angle of my steady rest to the grinding wheel? My rests are almost infinitely adjustable, but I have no idea how to set it to get a specific degree of cut?
ie. I have one of those cutoff 'bits' that are typically used on heavier/bigger lathes, and I want to thin it down to make thin/narror grooves (like 1mm or less). I would like to set the table so that the wheel takes slightly more from the bottom of the cut, than the top (to give it some relief).
The only way I've figured out so far is by trial and error? Is there a way to set up the table so that it will cut a specific angle?
Thanks
