The wheel is important, too. Coarse, friable bond, white vitrified
aluminum oxide cuts fast and cool, because the dull grains
fall off under pressure, making the wheel somewhat self-dressing.

Cheap grinders probably need a tool rest upgrade. The Veritas
works fine, but you can make your own easily if you're cheap.
