Concrete Countertops

Started on the grinder today.
Spent at least 2 hours scouring the shop for some cable guides I'd planed to use as wheels for it to run on. Don't remember using them but there they were gone.
So started whittling some 2 inch shaft, bored to fit some small bearinged rollers that came from some where.



Used my over sized parting tool to cut grooves that will run on the sawmill tracks. Need to invest in another parting tool, the one I've had for some time met its demise parting some 2 inch pipe, it must have caught a weld or something, grabbed, the pipe wall crushed and it came out of the chuck destroying the parting tool. This one takes a .25 wide insert, alright for this sort of work but a little heavy for say a 1/2 inch shaft.



The semi finished product, 1/2 thou interference fit, need to press the bearing cartridges in.
