      In a earlier thread there was some talk about people buying these type of grinders as general tool and cutter grinders, when in fact they are designed just readly for single lip cutters.

      I have found a website

      http://www.thetoolanddieguy.com/

      that is currently running a seriesof videos on setting up and using the Deckel SO cutter grinder He also has a large number of videos on surface grinder and much more.

      It is a pay site, you have to pay to register, but I have found it very useful.

          You can use the Deckel grinder for small diameter 2 and 4 lip milling cutters but there is only a single relief angle. I did not find it that useful as I needed to sharpen larger cutters than 5 or 6mm. I certainly would not waste my money on such an expensive machine which after all is basically an engraving tool sharpener.

            I made a set of sleeves for my old one and used to sharpen the ends faces on cutters up to 20mm. No good for sharpening the sides. You can do two angles, it just takes two passes. You can also make/sharpen ball nose cutters. And of course the original engraver bits it was designed for.

            I sold mine, decided to keep the Union cutter grinder much more versatile.

              I really like the D bit grinders, there is so much that can be done with single lip cutters.

              If you get the double sided wheels in either diamond or cbn, the you can grind thread cutting tools and the like. Also do bull nose radius cutters( offset corner radius cutters)

              I have been looking for one, but they are too expensive even second hand. The cheap import ones are not as good as a Deckel.
