No need to get a slower grinder. It's nicer perhaps, but once you
get your tools to the correct shape and start using a jig you only
have to lightly touch up the edge which shouldn't heat up the tool
very much. HSS steel can also take more heat than carbon tools w/o
losing it's temper.

I've been using a 8" high speed grinder for years - it works fine.
You'll be well served to put decent wheels on it if you haven't
already though.

FWIW, Grizzly is having a sale on a Tormek grinder knockoff for $80
this week. http://www.grizzly.com/ Slow speed, water stone grinder.
Caveat emptor, etc.

The main reason that I'm getting another grind is that one lives my
welding shop and the other one will live in the woodworking shop. Jim
