I bought the slow-speed grinder at Woodcraft. *Believe me, you do not

I have the 1725 rpm grinder from Woodcraft. *8". *Works fine. *Comes
with 2 white oxide grindng wheels so no need to buy any.


Swapped the fine wheel for a buff -- same machine takes
my edges from start to finish. Replaced the tool rests
with a Veritas. It's been serving me fine for 15 years.
