 | The Worden Mk3 Tool & Cutter Grinder Ref: HK 130X
Sharp tools with accurate geometry are, as every production engineer knows, the key to successful machining. To attain this in the small workshop means goodbye to free-hand grinding and welcome to jig ground tools.
The Worden Mk3 has been developed from G H Thomas' original designs, Mr. Norburn's long association with precision sheet metal presswork and fabrication and Mr. Hemingway's determination to provided customers with a simple, quickly built and easy to use machine. Using the speed and accuracy of CNC punching techniques, we provide all the major components pre-machined and welded at a most economic cost.
The work required to complete this project is straight forward and easily accomplished. Many customers claim success in 3 weekends or less. The table assembly arrives engraved with 0 -180 divisions. The base, motor plinth and wheel guard require no more than de-burring and painting. Wiring of the motor and reversing switch is shown in detail. The machining required can be completed on a lathe of at least 2" centre height and 13" between centres. A vertical slide would be more than sufficient to complete the one or two milled features.
A growing number of jigs and attachments can be added to increase the versatility of this highly respected kit.

4 Facet Drill Grinding Jig - Mk2 Ref: HK 1310
Compared with conventional cone ground drills, 4 facetted drills require a marked reduction in drill pressure and show a reduced tendency for even long drills to wander. This recent design from Jim Whetren will accommodate drills from Ø3/32" to Ø1/2" (standard, countersink or flat bottomed).
The clearance angles chosen for the 2 cutting lips are those used by the late Professor Chaddock, namely 30 degrees for the first grinding then 10 degrees for the second and final grind.
