        Just purchased the grinder. No trouble putting it together but I find that the Tool rest is not parallel to the wheel??? Am I missing something ?? Only way to fix that I see is to get a new "Straight" tool rest.

        It was relatively easy to set up, it runs quietly and so far works as advertised

        The arbor shaft was 25 thousands over sized so you couldn’t get a wheel on without smashing it on. I wanted to use CBN wheels which wouldn’t fit at all.

        Bought for slow-speed sharpening of shop tools. Works well, and is very heavy/rugged. Does not vibrate around on the work table.

        I was looking for a slow speed grinder to be used with the Pro-grind sharpening system for my lathe tools. I noticed on a lot of the turning forms that they were using this grinder. So I turned the key and purchased it.
