Just in case anyone is interested:

I bought a grinder mandrel (with a #2 MT) from Highland Hardware.  I loaded
it into my Jet wood lathe, locked it in with the tail stock and viola!  A
slow speed grinder for $15!

The advantages to grinding on a lathe (as opposed to a purpose built
grinder) are:
 
1) you can run virtually any size wheel (width or diameter),

I like a big wheel because I don't hollow grind all of my chisels
-especially morticers and framers.

2) most lathes have terrific adjustable tool rests,

3) it turns 500 rpm.

4) most importantly, if you already have a lathe, you don't need any more
space and it only costs $15 to do it!
