I need to form the tool in this shape

so it can cut a 2 step pulley, one step about 3" in diameter, the second, 
right hand step at about 1.5" in diameter. Where the included angle at 
the tip is around 35 degrees, and the left facet, the / above is half 
the .092" width of the groove.  I have already tried to remove the gross 
amounts of material from the right side of a 5/16" bar, but at that 
angle all I was doing even with an every 10 second dip into a pan of 
water, was overheating it.  Wrong stone on that grinder maybe, its quite 
fine grained & seems to dull easily.

So today I try a different method of mounting to allow a different 
profile using the diamond disk that will basically just cut away the 
end .125" of the tool.  I have a drill chuck mounted on a rod that I use 
for carrying a milling tool for use in small bore boring ops, and if the 
jaws on it will open wide enough to clamp the tool at the heel clearance 
angle, I can chuck that rod in the 3 jaw on the rotary table, and 
establish the edge angles that way.  My current method of holding the 
tool in the 3 jaw puts the end of the tool so close to the 3 jaws that I 
can't get at the tool with the diamond disk without damaging the chuck 
or jaws.  The tool is too short, so I have to  jury rig something 
different.

But it may wait, I think we are headed to NY to say goodby to Dee's older 
sister, who has indicated she wants no more effort made to keep her 
going.  Some sort of a blood infection and pneumonia thing.  She is 85 
or 86 now, and lost her speech from a stroke shortly after her youngest 
was born 50 years ago.  So life has been, to her, just one confusion 
after another, and she knows the end is approaching.  So I think I do my 
laundry today in between this other stuff, and with the recall on the 
airbags, I am going to try & convince Dee we take the GMC instead of the 
2007 RAV-4 Toy which has not yet had its bags replaced.  The GMC's bags 
are 99 versions and not known to have the problem.  Not to mention I 
feel better in a 7,000+ lb vehicle in Memorial weekend traffic.  Its 
about a 450 mile run up there, a good long day behind the wheel for me.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
