Topic: Grinding of tool steel

[Antz]

I came across the very interesting article. It’s packed full of information on grinding tool steels. Just thought I’d post a link if anyone is interested.

Antz,

Thank you for posting this. I printed it and put it in ebooks on my ipad. Reading through it, I realized how much I do not yet know about grinding. Effectively using it will also include knowing what parts do not apply to the Tormek. It inspires me to learn more. I hope we will all share what we learn.

For a long time, I have enjoyed a friendly and productive relationship with Tormek support. In anticipation of related questions to support, I forwarded this topic to support.I hope being "forewarned" will assist support in answering our questions.

Antz,

Thank you for posting this document.

Since joining this group I have found myself refreshing my Mechanical Engineering knowledge and skills. I have found it most enjoyable. During my professional career I drifted off the path at some point to management and then to IT. While I got broad exposure to a number of areas I do miss the mechanical subjects. I think Wootz's site began my awakening.

Nice post, John. I think Wootz is awakening many of us.

Yeah, IT kills all the fun in life (I’m an IT manager).
