Potts drill grinding jig

[kokelol]

Help I am looking for drawings or plans to make a Potts drill grinding jig
This jig is probably an English or British made attachment
Tnx KOKELOL

Hi Kokelol,

I found your post while also looking for plans for the Potts! I liked the Forum so much I joined and this is my first post.

The Potts drill grinding jig was ( I am fairly sure ) described in the Model Engineer magazine along with a simple drilling spindle for a lathe cross slide which also bore the name Potts.

There is a drill jig listed in the plans service run by the publishers of the magazine and although it is a Potts, it is very similar and it was designed by a chap called Ian Bradley who I think also wrote under the pseudonym of Duplex.

Try this link anyway and see if that jig will do what you want:

Best of luck and let us know if you do come across the original thing.

Hi Kevin,

Since starting this thread I have discovered a source for the drawings and castings for the Potts Jig. This is the only way to sharpen drills as no other device adjusts the backoff angle correctly for the size of drill.

Follow the above link for more details, I can recommend Hemingway. I have bought this kit and the drawings ( in AutoCAD Inventor) are excellent. I have yet to complete the machining.

By the way you didn't put the link in for your video/photos.

Regards,

Andrew
