For years I have operated my grinder in reverse for sharpening lathe tools. I did this simply because I was advised to do it by a gentleman, whom I have a great deal of respect for, that was teaching me to turn and of course how to sharpen tools. The idea being that one could see the cutting edge making contact better this way. I have operated my grinder in this fashion since 1994 and have never run it as it was intended. To cut to the chase, does anyone else run their grinder in reverse? Am I out to lunch on this and missing something. Of all the videos that I have watched online, I don't see anyone operating a grinder in this fashion. Any thoughts or advise on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks
