Brian stated a low speed 6″ grinder is best.
What rpm range is considered low speed?

One other comment, regarding carbide tools. The new hollowing disks (e.g. Hunter, Eliminator, Vermec) seem to have an enthusiastic following.

(P.S. Brian commented on shielding the grinder at the end of the tape. He also wore eye protection after the initial discussion of cleaning the grinding wheel.)

A caveat:
I would suggest eye protection when dressing the grinding wheel.
I also wonder whether a shielded grinding wheel would not be safer than the bare ones in the video.
Thank you for the demo.

Thank you very much for this informative video. I’ve done a considerable amount of turning, but have always run into problems getting a consistant angle to my tools. Not only do you make it look easy, but now you have added ease to my sharpening.
