Hi, I bought a re-badged Draper 370W bench grinder from Wickes a while ago. It's the 'wet & dry' one with the vertical wet wheel.
Not having yet made a suitable alternative tool rest for the 8" wet wheel, I bought a Veritas tool rest for use with the 6" dry wheel after seeing an impressive tool sharpening video, which nudged me in the dry wheel direction.
Trouble is, even with very light pressure and lots of water cooling on the side between grinding passes, the chisels and plane irons are burning far to easily and often.
The wheel I'm using is the original supplied one and quite coarse. Is ther a more appropriate, cooler running wheel for this job, or should I find a way of slowing the wheel down?
