I have been shaping, roughing in, whatever my lathe tools using a dry Sear's bench grinder. I have a white wheel on one side. I have no idea what it is. The labels are covered and I am not about to dismount it to read the make---which probably does not matter anyway. It leaves the tools rougher than I like.
Accidently I got a whale of a deal on a Porter Cable 8 inch variable speed grinder. (Some one priced the demo incorrectly.) I wish to replace the coarse wheel with a better FINE wheel.
QUESTION: What 8 inch, dry, wheel would you purchase to make the final lathe tool sharpening?
I am assuming that I will go to the wet, slow speed grinder for the final step. The slow speed is just that, too doggone slow for anything except the final passes.
Thanks for any information you can send my way!
Enjoy,
JimB
