238 forum posts 47 photos	Can anyone suggest a make / source of a decent bench grinder ? I don't like cheap & nasty but equally don't want a Creusen either. Is an 8" any real advantage over a 6" I'll use it for ginding HSS & carbide (with the right wheels) tools for my Boxford. Thanks Tony

I have fitted mine with A60K5V where 60 is the grit and the K is the bond strength I think. Long while since I did the grinding wheel safety course. The bound strength K can vary a bit but you don't want it too hard. I got my wheels from J&L.Industrial. I don't sharpen carbide in the home workshop although I do have a couple of diamond wheels for when I get the cutter grinder uop and running. regards David
