Thank you for the replies. I will be researching the nickel plating
process now that I know it is done commercially. No one makes
replacement grinding plates for this machine. I have searched all of
the obvious places. Not sure when they quit making it, but it is
perfectly designed to grind lathe/shaper cutting tools. I will try
to post a picture tomorrow.

This is a tangential topic at best. The question is does
anyone know of a way to bond diamond grit to a steel plate? I am
thinking about experimenting with general purpose epoxy. However
they bond brake linings could work, but I do not know how.
Regular epoxy seems like it would fail as the plate heated, but
the brake lining adhesive should be more than adequate.
?
Background: I have a 1950's era grinding machine that uses
steel discs with bonded diamond grit on the flat side of the
disc. It would be perfect for HSS or carbide sharpening given
its adjustable angle work table. The problem is that the
abrasive plates are not available any more. Self-adhering
sanding discs are an option, but not preferable.
