there are situations where a slow speed grinder is very helpful - many

turners prefer 1750 because you sharpen very frequently and you don't need
to remove very much metal. maybe you should offer to trade on the wood

That's an interesting approach. The wheel running slower than advised will
cut much cooler, due in part to it behaving much softer and sloughing off
easier. It's hard on wheel life, but that shouldn't be a problem for
touch-up. If one was roughing HSS blanks, that would be a serious mistake,
though. The blank starts acting like a dressing stick.
