    Wetstone grinders

    Richard I brought the real cheapie proform wet grinder from axminster. I did have to true up the wet wheel with a diamond cutter and it does have a bit of side ways movement about 2mm but this works in my favour. :) I also brought the axminster adjustable rest and mounted this on a couple of...
