I just acquired one and haven't found much useful info on using them on line. It's a Taiwanese clone of the Baldor, with two green wheels whose faces are angled from apparently freehand use. My use would most likely be guided sharpening of brazed threading and cutoff bits and freehand touch up of boring bars.
If they would be more useful I have diamond angularly worn 6" and chipped
In my opinion a cheap diamond wheel is more useful than a dedicated machine for freehand grinding. That being said I have a D-Bit/tool&cutter grinder for grinding carbide... with cheap diamond wheels.
I do have the problem of to many grinders and not enough place too put them.

---------------------------------- A 3 phase 240V grinder I've never used is going into a shed to make room for it. The intent was to use it as a rotary phase converter, then I realized that my 3 phase 240V machines would sell more easily if 1 phase 120V and bought some TEFC Weg motors for their immediate convenience value.
