Get off a stubborn grinding wheel with no tools (to speak of).

[cognitdiss]

I wouldn't call my setup industrial per se. I do have two basic dewalt bench grinders in my work-shop, an 8" and a 6".

The 8" has the coarse factory stone on it, the images were of me removing the fine stone to install a wire wheel. This way I can round corners, chamfer bar stock, dress and clean threaded rod, clean rusty steel for a weld, and clearance the steel out of the way when repurposing lathe tools. This grinder has plenty of oomph for what I need, esp for the wire wheel.

The 6" has both factory stones removed, replaced by a green stone on one side and a 150 grit diamond on the other for sharpening drills and forming & sharpening the tungsten carbide on lathe tools.

Yes if you are sharpening carbide (my low budget way) you will need a green wheel, telescopic shims to fit the wheel to your arbor, and a cheap flat diamond dresser. Diamond wheel is nice for better surface finish w/ lathe tools.

I don't sharpen on anything else any more. But the green wheels do not last forever, and make silica dust, so plan to deal w/ that if you go this route. Personally, this is my current ideal grinder setup, at work or at home.

Somehow I manage to go through grinders faster than my wheel supply. If you lived in the area I would drop off a large fraction of my stash of vitrified and still have a functionally infinite amount of grinding wheel life on hand.
