Nice design for the gearbox. Looks like it can save on valuable horizontal real estate.

It sound like an awesome process to learn about. Unfortunately, my team has never had access to a pedestal grinder.
Of course there's no time like the present! we just got done building a CNC router on a super tight budget, so I feel like we might be able to make something work.
