Hi, I'm new here and new to wwing also. I have always had a knack for sharpening blades (knives) and prefer to use a leather strop. However, I would like to progress to a powered version. Can anyone give advise on the slow speed grinders at 1750 rpm? Will this speed with a felt wheel and a buffing compound or jewellers rouge overheat the metal? I would only use it to put the final edge on a blade.
Another question: can a grinder be used with an electronic speed control?
Thanks for any replies.
