Upsizing a Bench Grinder

[wizard69]

When you are polishing knives, you don't need to lean on the grinder. This Alu-ox wheel is a 60 grit for finishing and sharpening. I do have a bigger grinder with coarser wheel on them.

Don't mind the naysayers, between me and my father we went about 60+ Years on a 'grinder" that was nothing more than a threaded shaft extension set screwed to a old motor shaft. By the way that motors start capacitor went before I was born, you needed to give it a spin before use. I kinda learned the hard way that grinders are not a way to a versatile and productive shop, one needs a lot of other tools to do good work. Most people will know when it is time to invest in a better grinder as they will have work that can't proceed without.
