I’m using a Jet 10†150 RPM wet grinder and hate the mess, even after modifying the water basin because it just runs down the tool handle.
I contacted Dave at D-Way and he said that quite a few people he knew were using the CBN wheel on this grinder with success. I do like the slow speed because I’m not much of a sharpener, and as a newbie turner/sharpener I use jigs for most things.
But having re-read some of the posts here, I’m wondering if I should just lose the leather hone on the left, put the CBN wheel on the left and keep the original Jet wheel with the water basin? Is there a benefit to having both the CBN and the wet wheel? If not, then I’ll probably post the wheel in Want-Ads really cheap so it can be put to good use by someone.
So I guess the main thing I’m asking is, what would you do in my situation?
Thanks to all for your thoughts.
