With the help of a friend, I have finally completed *Howard* Halls Delux Grinding rest. I have a 4 aluminum oxide cup wheel and a diamond cup wheel for HSS, and would like to get Silicon Carbide wheels for carbide bits, though I dont have many carbide tools. I currently have a nice Black and Decker bench grinder with the usual stock coarse and fine wheels on it. I have dressed the wheels, but never changed them.
My question is, is it a real hassle to change from one type of wheel to another? Do I have to true the wheels each time theyre installed? Or is it worth the investment to get another decent grinder or two and permanently set them up as carbide and HHS grinders? Are 1/2" wheels adequate, or do I need 3/4"?
