Years ago B-Square marketed a jig for grinding screwdriver blades. Does anyone have a picture of one or instructions on how to use it.

I use the handy belt grinder. Easy to put a hollow grind on the 'driver.
You can use an adjustable (X & Y axis) drill press vise bolted to a drill press table for the same thing; but a drill press takes forever to grind a decent tip.
I tend to use either the belt grinder or a dremel type tool.

I bet I could find it in one of my old Brownell's catalogs, or described in one of the "Gunsmith Kinks" books, but those are not reachable just now. I vaguely recall that it was just a squared block of steel with a transverse hole and clamp screw. You clamped the screwdriver shaft in the hole and used opposite faces/edges of the block to grind a parallel end, working on a regular tool grinder.
But, as Dean Grennell used to quip, "I'll never forget what a lousy memory I have."
