It has a single speed, so only one size of wheel.

It appears to have no provisions for small mounted stones for
use in grinding inside surfaces -- only for outside.

I have no idea how well balanced it may be. If it is poorly
balanced, that will impact the finish.

And -- of course -- with *any* toolpost grinder, you need to
take precautions to protecty your lathe bed (and other sliding surfaces)
from the abrasive grit which is thrown by the machine.

Good Luck,
DoN.

Thanks DoN. All good info, and a couple of points that I hadn't
considered. I'm still not ready to pull the trigger on this one but
at least now I'm better armed.
