I have one of these Leonard grinder-lap
machines and it is awesome.
Uses 5-inch magnet based diamond wheels,
runs at about 350 rpm and has an eccentric to make it
wobble a little.
Awesome for sharpening and polishing
lathe tools and carbide inserts.??
??? What kind of machine is it ?
??? thanks

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.
