Anybody have a manual or operating instructions? I'm mostly clueless as to
how it should work.

Looks like a Deckel knock off. I'm sure it can do lots of stuff, but we
always used them for sharpening single flute form tools. Mine doesn't see
nearly as much use as it used to because we just 3d complicated shapes now.
I'll be a google search for single flute (lip) cutter grinder would get you
some good info.

I found one book:

"MACHINE SHOP TRADE SECRETS" By Jim Harvey. Looks to have one chapter on
this. Anybody seen this book? Good, bad, indifferent?

[David Merrill]

Great book full of shop tips, but not the detailed how-to-operate-it type of
info you're looking for. Only a picture of a Deckel single lip grinder, a
couple of paragraphs expressing enthusiasm over what can be done with one,
and a picture showing a variety of shop-made single lip cutters that are
possible.

Try this(cringe)link for a bit more detail on the HF copy of the Deckel
(assuming that your Scripta is similar to a Deckel as others have suggested)

I bought the book fairly recently and like it. However all I can recall it
saying about the Deckel grinder is "get one, use it". I'm in a different
location from my copy right at the moment, I'll check when I get home.

In the meantime: I recommend the book, but not to learn anything about tool
and cutter grinding.

Sure looks like the working parts of it, are the same as the working
parts of my "Quorn Mark 1" which does endmills and a million other
things.

Still trying to get a decent endmill sharpening with the Quorn though.
It's very...adjustable.

Hey Karl,

Forget the Scripta name pasted on it. That will be for some sort of
engraving machine, and this is an accessory to it. Instead, look for
Deckel single lip cutter grinder manuals.

Send me a street address, and I'll mail you a two page copy of
instructions labeled :

"Brief Instructions for Single Cutter Grinder (model) SO"
by Friedrich Deckel, Munich.

I got my copy from Arno Martens some time back. I don't have a book,
but the principles are the same for all these type, including the
well-known Quorn.

Take care.

ps...what did it go for at the auction. If it was real Deckel, it may
have fetched over $1.000 here where they find lots of use.

It does look look a bit like a Deckel SO grinder. Though I've never used
one, I do have a copy of the manual in PDF format. Probably came from the
web but can't find the source now. Email me if you'd like a copy.

Thanks Mike

EXACTLY what I needed. Its a very good manual on operations of any of the
single flute tool grinders. After spending an hour or more on google, all I
had learned was how good a deal the auction purchase was - $150. This group
is one great resource.
