Hi all
I'm hoping to pick up a lathe from my uncle soon and have turned my mind to sharpening. At the moment I use waterstones for my hand planes and chisels - is it a good idea to have a grinder to sharpen lathe chisels on for speed - I understand that they need more sharpening than hand chisels?
If so, can anyone point me to a grinder that will do from Axminster and whether I need to buy different grinding wheels. I'm not going to stretch to a Tormek but there seems to be a very confusing choice of cheaper grinders in the Perform range. I'm going to Yandles on Friday and will probably go to Axminster as well so would like to buy one then.
Many thanks!
