Hi all
This is probably a stupid idea so please do tell me so if it is.
So I would like to use a CBM wheel to sharpen my turning gouges, but I have a problem, 1st I don't own a bench grinder and 2nd CBM wheels work best on a slow speed grinder and they are not as common.
So I started thinking about this and had a bright idea, what about fitting an arbour to the wheel and fitting it in the chuck on my lathe, that is variable speed going down to about 500rpm is much more solid than a bench grinder and it offers a solid base to attach any grinding jig I de idea to use.
Is this a stupid idea or world it work.
Thanks for humouring me on this one.
Paul
