October 21, 2022 - Between Harbor Freight, Tekton, Snap-On, and Amazon.....I have squeezed as much space out of my tiny tool chest. Procrastinating on the 56" US general is longer possible. ... What is this notched grinder rest meant for? A quick google said "flattening" or "possibly for knife sharpening"? ... Picked up this bench grinder for $20 bucks.

February 24, 2020 -

Bought a "1/2 horse" HF bench grinder for $55 and 2 wire wheels, one steel, one brass for $10 each. Put them together, tried to use them . . . absolute crap. Failed in under 30 minutes. So frustrating.

I want an old-school style: platform with belt drive, looks like it was made during WW2.
