Hi all,
i have been dabbling with my lathe using carbide tools - lots of fun making pens etc - but am thinking of getting into more traditional tools to turn bowls etc.
what has put me off is the sharpening stuff.
that said i am thinking of pressing the button on a 200mm slow speed grinder - by no means are my pockets very deep here.
which of the following would people recommend (from the usual suppliers)?
Carbatec -
Carbatec 750W (1HP) 200mm Low Speed Bench Grinder | Carbatec - currently $254 - 750W
Timbecon -
https://www.timbecon.com.au/sherwood...-bench-grinder - currently $239 - 375W induction motor (4 pole - apparently this is good??)
Hare + Forbes - doesnt seem to offer a slow speed grinder...
i am thinking of getting a basic HSS set to complement my carbides - then fleshing it out with the ones that i use a lot - (same as i did with my router blades)
what does the brains trust think?
