Letters continued from page 12 for those of you who would like QuickCAD, is that there is a program called AutoSketch that is basically the same, but it can convert 2D drawings to isometric (basic 3D) views ($130 from Dell: 800-289-3355, dell.com). I use this program for every custom project, and it is a great value for its price. So to Hank, I would say, "buy AutoSketch." The good thing about AutoSketch is that is has a similar working environment to AutoCAD, so if you decide to upgrade in the future, you don't have to spend nearly as much time learning a totally new program from a different company. Kevin L. Zook Whitinsville, Massachusetts Questions About Side Grinding John Wilson's article "$5 Router Plane" (August 2005, issue #150) stirred some heated debate among our readers as to whether his technique of grinding the bevel on the Allen wrench using the side of the grinding wheel was safe or not. OSHA regulations and ANSI standards weren't perfectly clear to us, so we contacted Norton, one of the largest manufacturers of grinding wheels for its position. Roger E. Cloutier, senior product safety engineer, replied to us stating: "ANSI only allows side grinding on 'applications such as shoulder contour and form grinding where it is recognized that a limited amount of side grinding will be performed.' Type 1 grinding wheels are designed to be used on their outer diameter and not on their sides." While some might interpret grinding the bevel as "a limited amount" of side grinding, we recommend following Norton's advice and using only the wheel's outer perimeter.
