I rather spend my time turning, rather than spend my time sharpening,
10" regular speed grinder (1725rpm) with normal grey wheels, works
very well indeed.
Have fun and take care

Anybody using a Tormek/Jet wet sharpener on their lathe tools?

I have a Jet that I use for my chisles and planes but I use my Delta
23-710 slow speed grinder with a white wheel for the lathe tools. I do
notice that I have to dress the wheel a LOT more and that the bevels
are not as neat and clean as I would like. I wonder if I would get a
longer lasting edge on my Jet even though it would be very tedious and
slow ( I would think ).

Maybe it is time to get a better slow speed grinder, the delta wheels
are not that great, they wear REAL fast and are such a small diameter
I worry about the amount of hollow grind. It is only about 5" in
diameter.

Any recomendations?
