Having built the POCKET WOOD LATHE and the tools from sewing machine needles I needed something to sharpen them on hence this tool was conceived.

So this is the second tool in my pocket series, it is based on my POCKET WOOD LATHE https://www.printables.com/model/477541-pocket-tool-grinder

Centered on using the the same head-stock as in the wood lathe, the rest of the tools will be based around the same style.

The bearing on the head-stock can be fitted to the lathe, as I found the shaft has a tendency to float back and forth, so this fixes that problem.

The mandrel for the grinding wheel is a standard Dremel mandrel that I cut the 3mm end off and drilled it to suit my motor.

Stay tuned for more pocket tools for modelling.
