A diddy grindstone in a die grinder gives you way higher linear speed

Yeah. So I should buy them by the hundred? They don't last long on
rough grinding of that nature.


if youre doing a lot of rough grinding, why not an angle grinder? We
can only make useful suggestions if you tell us the situation.


I did, in my original post, which is the one you responded to. An
angle grinder is not suitable for sharpening shears, sickles and
similar implements. Nor is a bench grinder (or at least one with
guards).
