Does anyone here use a 10" grinder for sharpening lathe tools? If so, which grinding wheels would you recommend?
It doesn't appear that Norton makes the 3X wheels in a 10" size.
I realize that a 8" wheel would fit, but if there is a 10" wheel available for a bit more money, I am interested. I bought this grinder off of eBay and a size wasn't listed and there was nothing for perspective in the picture. When I went to pick it up, let's just say that I was surprised... :eek:
I expect the grinding wheel is going to cost me more than I have into the grinder... :D
Here it is with a Taiwanese 6" grinder:

And how it sits today:
