Aftermarket Tool Rest for Record 8" Grinder

[paulc]

Hello,

I bought this grinder: Support for RSBG8 8" Bench Grinder with 40 mm White Stone new, about a year ago and am just setting it up. The tool rests seem very sloppy, and only clicks into preset angles, so I want to get another one (or two). Primarily for chisels, plane blades and gouges, no turning tools. I see that the Veritas one has slots with a max stone width of 1 1/2"/ 38mm - so no good for the 40mm stone on this grinder.

Any other recommendations or tips?

Thanks

Sorby 447 will cover your needs and is very good quality, I have a couple and would recommend highly.

Thanks Lazurus, I'll check it out.

I bought the one in the pic a few years ago from Axminster I believe. It's very flexible (in the right sort of way) and seems rather like the Veritas one they now offer. It was in the mid £30s I think.

Thanks pidgeonpost. I've seen a similar one on amazon. Good to hear it's served you well.
