Hey guys.
I was looking thru somebodys pics and seen them using a tilting workrest with a 8 or ten inch contact wheel. The rest was notched out for the wheel. I looked and looked for that pic but cant find it.:confused:
I was wanting to build one and was going to copy that design if the person didnt mind.
If you have one or know who does can you post a pic? It doesnt look to difficult to make but a pic would help!
Thanks.
 
I use one on the grinders that are built in my Workshops.
I use the plans as Tracy shows in the NWG plans,,,,except,,,,
1. I weld them
2. I use 1/8" wall tubing 1 1/2 for the large outside tube and 1 1/4 for the inside.
To get the smaller tube to slide into the larger one I mill a shallow slot in it to
accommodate the interior weld in the larger tube.
3. to make the tool rest I cut out one side of a 1" length of the larger tube leaving a U.
This gets welded to a piece of 2" X 1/4" X 4" flat stock.
4. Slide this rest over the vertical extension and drill and tap thru both.
5. Grind a radius in the vertical extension so that the rest can tilt.
 
That is Michael Kanter's MAP arm. He produces and sells them. He goes by Adam Michael Knives and he is a member here if you want to reach him.
