Looking to add a bench grinder to do three things; major rehab of old plane and chisels (primary bevel work), regrind primary bevels (example 25 degrees to 20 degrees), and hollow grind. I’ll finish the honing, etc., on stones.
Sounds like variable speed, or slow speed is the way to go, and 8”. There are a lot of these available from JET to all the standard big box brands. Just looking for some real world experience.
Would also be interested in the type of wheel medium(s) I should get to work 01, A2, PMV11.
Would really prefer not to invest in a Tormek or other sharpening system. Just looking to get the grunt work done a bit faster. Suggestions of grinder brands and wheel medium is much appreciated!
