Sharpening Guide for a Grinding Wheel
I removed the guides (tool rests) that came with my grinder and replaced them with a single piece of steel angle that spans both wheels. I use this guide for normal grinding. Then I made a sliding wooden carriage that correctly angles chisels and plane irons. This arrangement lets me switch quickly between straight and angled grinding. I use 80-grit, white aluminum-oxide wheels, which run cooler than standard wheels.
