How about this argument for a slow speed - lathe tools aren't the only
things you'll grind on the beast. Think of your plane and shave irons,
knives, carving tools, etc.

I don't understand how a useing a faster grinder will make grinding time
any
faster?

No, Oneway recommends a 3450 RPM grinder. They had a reason for it but I
can't remember it.

I recently purchased the Wolverine grinding jig to go with my
existing
grinder that runs at 3450. From all the reading I've done in this
group,
it
is recommended to sharpen tools on a slow speed (1750) grinder.
Seems
its
easy to get a tool too hot and ruin the tempering if sharpened at
3450.
