We are looking at purchasing a grindstone wheel that is appropriate for sharpening the wood lathe chisels. Right now we're using a temporary system that isn't suitable for the long term (sandpaper discs and holding the chisels freehand, not very precise to keeping the proper bevel angle). We have permission to use the unused Clarke 8" bench grinder in the basement, but it doesn't have the right wheel for the lathe chisels.

A good wheel for sharpening the lathe chisels would be a blue ceramic wheel. For the size we'd need (200mm x 20mm x 16mm), I found a shop that does the wheel in 200x20x32 and then we would need additional plastic bushings to fit it to the grinder shaft.


Blue wheel - £51.60 (VAT and shipping included)

Plastic bushings - £4.96 (VAT and shipping included)
