I ordered the wolverine sharpening jig, with a gouge holder to assist me.
Ordered a wheel dresser, and a few more items so I can get started soon when the lathe is set up.
I know an 8 inch grinder is better from what Ive read, but my 6 inch delta is basically new, used it less than 5 times.
it has the stock wheels, any recos on what wheels I should(might) change too for a better and easier sharpening experience, and what grit for the bowl gouges. I want to keep it as easy and simple as possible for now.
What wheels, I mean brand and type(material).
please remember, this is my first real attempt at sharpening, Ive ruined one narrow gauge, don't want to ruin my only bowl gauge. (even though I ruined the small one, it still cuts perfectly, I just killed the correct angle)
Ive read a lot online, but I always feel recos from here work best for me.
