I know the emphasis is on hand sharpening using a variety of stones. Yes I
profit from the postings and sometimes the debate over oil versus water :-).
But, more than a few on the list have mentioned using electric pigtailed
grinders to aid in at least initial sharpening. I receive advertisements
talking about "low speed" grinders for sharpening tools. When I check, the
speed is commonly listed at roundly 1750 rpm. What is a good "low speed" to
sharpen at using an 8" wheel. Any thoughts or strong opinions would be
appreciated. No I could not find my Dad's old hand crank grind stone and my
cousin has my grandfather's pedal powered stone.
