Re: Parpas cutter grinder

I've never heard of a Parpas cutter grinder but John Stevenson in the
UK sells a CD with scans of several cutter grinders including the
Clarkson:

or just search sellers for marypoppinsbag.

As you say, it looks like the Parpas is similar to the Deckel SO/SOE
grinders and I have a manual for the SOE that I can email to you. It
seems to me that this type of grinder is commonly used for single-
point or engraving cutters and the manual I have is pretty much
limited to that sort of cutter grinding.
