Tool rest for grinder

**Dazm** · 22nd May 2016, 05:25 PM

Can anyone recommend a really good tool rest for my sharpening grinder?

I bought a secondhand Carbatec with white wheel and it came with a cheap Carbatec tool rest but it's rubbish.

I want something strong and adjustable.

I bought the Veritas from Carbatech. It is pricey but is easy to set and really stable.

I have a wider grinding wheel so I'm not sure it will fit in that slot. I guess I could cut the slot and make it wider.

I cut the veritas tool rest to fit the 40mm wheel , cut both sides to keep centred, very happy with new grinder, CBN wheel and tool rest, Rossco

Hey Rossco, where did you get the CBN wheel from? is it better than the white wheel?

Hi Dazm, CBN wheels have been heavily worked over on the forum, check, Derek Cohens web site ,on this topic. got my wheel through Vicmarc dealer,I now have a very sharp shed.
