Power Hone Dust cover

[Frank P]

As it s not something you find in engraver suppliers Catalog, but nevertheless an import Health issue..
I d like to show my quick home made version of a "grinding dust remover"
I d really like to see some pictures of other versions
... even maybe making some companies thinking about it s importance to their customers life expectance ;-)

Recently I made a powerhone. And also a cover because I dont want the dust everywhere. Not only is it bad for your health. The metal dust can also damage electronics. Because it is conductive.

I have not made a suction attachment. I only work with Hss. Still learning. When I will start to use carbide I want a vacuum attached.

You can make a dust catcher out off a plastic Tupper Ware bowl thats whats I did. J.J.

I think your dust catcher is a good idea and very well made.

don't need one. i use the wheel wet. by controlling the disk rpm and the amount of mineral oil applied, the mess remains on the disk. now & then a spritz of wd40 & a tooth brush ( over a trash can )and the disk is good to go.

Frank, is your vac slaved to the sharpener switch? If it isn't, or if anybody else is interested, woodworking suppliers (Rockler.com, et. al.) have special switched outlets that kick on the dust collector when the powertool is triggered, so you don't have to turn it on separately and never forget it.

It would be nice if grs made a leather pad for their sharping system. Mine is home made using an old lapp on my WWW.Raytech-Shaw.com Faceter machine. Variable speed 25 rpm to 1000, water cooling to prevent the tooling from overheating, and completely removes any dust from tool grinding from the air. It increases the lapp life because of the water cooling, and dozens of different diamond lapp grits from 60 to 3000. I use a ceramic lapp with 5000 – 200,000 grit for final polish. Plus, the tooling stand table has vertical adjustment of about 2 inches And if I get P.O. about the engraving I will start to facet a gemstone and make a ring for the wife. It never hurts just to give the wife a nice set of earrings or a ring to help support the cause.

Swiss sockets are killers))) I always forget to bring an adapter from home and have to buy new one when traveling there, and with my luck it’s usually Sunday evening when I need one...)))))
