The illustration represents a simple and inexpensive machine for grinding moulding cutters. The frame F is of wood, and fastened to the floor. At B, B are two small bearings, in which a small spindle runs. In the centre at P are two small pulleys, which should revolve at about 700 revolutions per minute. At one end of the spindle is a fine square-faced emery wheel E j at the other end there are three emery wheels - one square-faced, one round, and one bevelled. Over the wheels are water cans C, C, with taps, and the water coming from these is caught in the troughs T, T. With these wheels moulding cutters may be ground aud wetted up. It will be an advantage to have a portable rest, or one fixed to the frame of the machine, on which to rest the iron whilst being ground. The iron should be held at an angle of 25° to the face of the cutter for soft wood, and of 40° for hard wood.
