| 27 forum posts | Anybody know a good source for the 25mm dia. plastic ball as used in the grinding rest in Harold Hall's excellent 'Tool and Cutter Sharpening' book? I guess steel and or Al alloy would do. |

 1946 forum posts 179 photos | Hi there, I made mine with a stainless steel ball handle intended for kitchen cupboards, I bought it from Homebase and it comes with a 6mm threaded hole It was just perfect and available locally. I'm sure that other diy sources such a B&Q sell them. Much better than the plastic version and they are available in different sizes. Terry d |
