Perfectly ground Twist Drills every time.

[Frances IoMParticipant @francesiom58905]

there is the book by J Hugel “Twist Drills – Geometry and Performance” that has some of the maths and illustrations of various sharpening arrangements – was (? is) available via SMEE – I was slightly late in joining last zoom lecture but in the chairman’s remarks I understood Prof Hugel had died recently.

+1 for a request to let us all know where to look for Graham Meek's article. Why the secrecy?

[JasonBModerator @jasonb]

This is a reply posted some time ago by Neil regarding another item by the same member, I'll leave it at that.

"In short, there were a number of reasons why the information was removed, and those same reasons mean that it was and cannot be made available in another form.

I'll lock this thread as it's not a subject that will benefit from being trawled over again at length.

Prof Hugel's book is still available to SMEE members only.

New definition of ‘Lock’ ?

[Norman BillinghamParticipant @normanbillingham91454]

Sadly, Jorg Hugel did indeed die recently. His book on drill sharpening is only available (new) from SMEE but sales are certainly not restricted to SMEE members – we are happy to take your money, member or not.

Not really, that is just a quote from Neil who locked the other thread. I can't see a reason to lock this one and hoped people would read that and move on rather than dwell on the point.

Once again from Neil's post "it's not a subject that will benefit from being trawled over again"

Sorry, Jason … My error

I missed the fact that the words were in italics, and were therefore not yours.

Just Googled 'Drill sharpening Graham Meek', plenty there to start with.

Thanks, Tony, I've Googled this aplenty, but I'm not seeing the "nice work" by Graham referred to by Michael in this thread's opening post, nor the "practical demonstration" referred to by Clive, which presumably illustrates "the improved drill clamp arrangements" summed up by Thor as "advice on improving the jig". I've seen one photo in a later thread on this forum showing Graham Meek's jig set up next to a Clarke grinder, but nothing I could interpret as a practical demonstration.

The following thread too has frustratingly been purged of images and possibly text as well:

https://www.modelenginemaker.com/index.php/topic,3788.0.html

There's clearly some reason for the removal of previously visible material from both forums, but I can only guess what that reason might be.

Thanks, Michael, for the Van Royen reference, which has enabled me to find this:

The related Graham Meek content is presumably now pay-per-view only in some form.

Hi Bill,

If you send me a Members email with your email address I will send you the Photo's and the text which made up the article.

As regards a demonstration of it's use I never did this. It was assumed the reader would be familiar with the operating requirements as they would already possess the Jig. Besides I am not into U-Tube and lack the necessary equipment.

Strictly Old School here.

Regards

Gray,
