Once I finished laughing at the agent and his preposterously priced spares, I set about making what I needed. Offcut of 1/4” gauge plate and £10 worth of carbide strip
Milled a 4mm slot in either side of the plate
Milled two slots through. Makes it easier to cut into the two guides,but leaves enough surface area that it still sticks to the magnet on the grinder
Silver soldered the carbide strip into the slots. Once the plate was cold,I put it in boiling water,it’s the quickest and easiest way to get the flux off
Ground to size
Ready to cut into two guides.
Milled finished and installed. Forgot photos. Total time to make? 3 hours. Total material? Possibly £15.
….And the agents price for them? £185 plus Vat…..EACH 🙄. Good value for money…not
