I'm getting rid of some things that I never use any more.
  • One is the early version of the Phil Irons Tool Gate. The major difference between mine and the current version seems to be the shape of the tool holder. It's in fine condition, I did not use it much. Original box and instructions included. Price is $40, including shipping.
  • Second is the Oneway wheel balancer, no longer needed since I've switched to using CBN wheels. I bought this at a symposium and was a bit skeptical about it, but it really does make a difference. Price is $40, including shipping.
Payment via PayPal or your personal check.

I just wanted to add that the Oneway balancer can be wonderful if using conventional grinding wheels. Due to small density variations in the material, some wheels can be out of balance even if perfectly trued. I used two of those balancers before I switched to CBN. They were easy to set up and made a huge difference when grinding. I see from the photo it's the 5/8" version, the "standard" for most bench grinders.
