A Better Means —
A Better Tool
Benefits from Tool Control
The Norton No. 2 BURA-WAY* Tool
Grinder provides a better means for grinding
convex
single point and form tools because it
generates, reproduces and maintains relief an
gles constant as measured in the direction of
feed.
This advantage provides the entire
cutting edge of the tool with a uniform sup
port including those sections wherein curva
ture, a radius or radii are involved. This
unique capacity, plus the extreme rigidity of
the machine, its spindle reciprocating feature,
and the manner of tool support, results in a
superior long-life tool which increases pro
duction and lowers costs.
Precise DujMjcation
In grinding profile and relief, an original or
master tool is used to generate a large-sized
template. This template is used to duplicate
any number of production tools all precisely
alike. The template is also used to maintain
and keep constant the correct profile and re
lief angles with each regrinding of the tool.
With this machine, it is possible for the tool
designer to design the ideal tool that will
have the longest life and which will produce
more pieces per sharpening.
la addition to these advantages, the No. 2
BURA-WAY Tool Grinder provides the
means whereby tremendous benefits may be
realized through the medium of an effective
tool crib control system. Because of exact
duplication of the master or model tool form
by accurate mechanical means, this machine
makes it possible to determine the life of the
edge of each cutting tool in each operation.
This makes it possible to establish a control
whereby each tool is returned to the crib
before its full cutting life is expended. These
tools may then be touched up with a light re-
grinding, thus avoiding salvaging operations.
Benefits of Cylindrical Grind
With the No. 2 BURA-WAY Grinder the
benefits of the cylindrical type of grind are
obtained. Heretofore, this type of grind on a
cutting tool was not possible with existing
equipment. With the cylindrical type of grind,
the maximum possible support under the cut
ting edge of the tool is obtained, thus assuring
better cutting action and longer tool life. With
these advantages, the tool designer benefits by
the removal of design limitations, preventing
producing most efficient tool shapes.
Universal
Tool Holder
The Universal Tool Holder supplied with the
machine holds tool bits up to 2" square shank.
Setups are simple and accurate, precisely dupli
cated, and can be quickly made. For grinding
the rake angle, a special fixture is available.
Angles ground are under positive control and
tool form is not changed, but is automatically
maintained with each regrinding.
long Life for Ca
Carbide tipped tools have extremely long life
when ground and reground in this precision
machine which is built to.the most exacting
standards. These result in exceptionally
smooth operation which, with the manner of
tool support, assures a smooth, keen cutting
edge so important to the life of the tool.

Advantages that produce a
UNIVERSAL TOOL HOLDER
The Universal Tool Holder can be tilted and
rolled
for clearance and rake angles. This fea
ture makes it possible to attain the cylindrical
type
ol
grind rather than the conventional grind,
when the table is flat. The tool holder is also
adjustable laterally for side cutting edge. A
Master Tool Protractor Attachment to adapt the
tool holder for grinding the cutting edge angle
on
model tools is available at extra cost.
GRINDING MODEL TOOLS
This machine makes possible the grinding of a
model
tool. With the Master Tool Protractor
and the Universal Angle Gage which is also
available as an extra, it is possible to make a
model tool from a bar of plastic material or soft
steel. The various steps in this process are
shown
in
the chart on the next page.

universal tool holder
TEMPLATES
Once the model tool is made, a template is
ground from the model tool. Templates are
also
made from master tools. Thereafter, regu
lar production tools are reground from the tem
plate and the shape or location of the tool is
always assured from one grind to another with .
absolute duplication through accurate mechani
cal means. Steps in regrinding production tools
are shown on page 9.
This is an important advantage, especially for
automatic machines using multiple tool setups.
These tools can be sharpened in the No. 2
BURA-WAY Tool Grinder and then set back
in the automatic machine quickly from a refer
ence point without going through the process of
indicating
each and every tool.
The template material is a plastic which is very
easy to grind. In addition, templates are easily
marked for the tilt and roll settings of the tool
holder as well as the tool number, so that setups
can be duplicated quickly each and every time
that particular type of tool is to be ground.
