   I'd like to have a couple sets of 8 inch parallels.  Sixes work, but   
   sometimes I can't see when one end is over the gap in the vise bed.   
      
   I've got lots of 6 inchers.  Think, thin, and a couple sets of regulars.   
      
   I don't need a bunch of sizes, so I guess make them is not out of the   
   question.  I'm not particularly skilled with the surface grinder, but I   
   have one.

   If you have a (granite?) surface plate to check them on you can detect and   
   correct grinding errors.

   I've also run a Brown & Sharpe, which was generally similar. The Toolmaker   
   sacrifices some precision and surface finish for versatility, usually a   
   grinder head is more rigid. I found the swivel table for it, for sharpening   
   taps etc between dead centers. That's why the head can swivel. The British   
   Quorn cutter grinder has a nearly identical head arrangement and I've   
   collected accessories to duplicate some of its functions.
