Looking for a bench grinder for my lathe tools. No Tormek in my budget, alas. Thinking of your run of the mill big box offering like Ryobi. 8" or is 6" adequate? How much HP? Wheel grit? Anything else I should look for? Any specific recommendations?
BTW ... a couple of years ago I bought a water wheel from HF in anticipation of future use. It's kind of a Tormek look-alike, but plastic. Unpacked it tonight and the arbor is too short to securely affix the wheel. Laughed out load and said thank you for the HF return policy. It's going back tomorrow.
