Beaten to death topic, I searched the archives but did not find what I was looking for.
My dad is taking his mini lathe on vacation and would like to take my grinder with him (1750 rpm and a wolverine set up). I can get hold of my grandfather's grinder ( a Delta from the 1930's or 40's, 3450 rpm, cast iron pedestal base). If at all possible to use very carefully with lathe tools, moving quickly, what wheels should I be considering? My understanding is that I just need to be more careful with the higher speed, but that is should be ok. I am thinking I could get away with just buying two new wheels and a jig, rather that all three. Thanks
