Grinder Wheel - Size, Grit, Function - Which to Pick? - Heat is Evil
One of the most asked questions when people see me sharpen on a grinder is about the wheels: what size, what grit.
Today's video discusses the function of a grinding wheels size and grit and my opinion on what works best for the majority of woodworkers. With that you can decide what's best to spend your money on to gain a lifetime of functionality.

    i just built my first workbench by hand (Roubo- Moravian mix) and brought a Nr.7 cheap faithful jointer for it. after replacing the handle and getting it into nice shape I didn't use it for a long while, but then I had to flatten the underside and the top and was really satisfyied with my purchase cause it did an excellent job. it was 3x cheaper than a cheap thicknes planer and actually went really fast, fun too. i know i'm not going to use it on a daily basis, but i know every now and then it is the best and i can think of projects. i also wouldn't have had the needed space for a planer ... therefore I disagree with your Nr. 5. it probably depends on which state of woodworking you are in and according to which system you use your tools. agree on the rest

    You have a great interaction with your Dad. I don’t think I would be his favourite self taught woodworker as I saw a person using a lathe once and thought “ How interesting!” So I constructed one on my home made table saw from my mother-in-laws bed! I was explaining how I made it to friend and he wanted to know what my mother-in-law was doing with a 20 year old electric drill in her bed It wasn’t an absolute disaster but it will do till I find one! My first project was a walking stick made from Australia hardwood and making that sharpened my evasive skills no end! I needed the 4WD to pull the chisel outta the mancave door!

    I agree with your assessment of 600 grit. I do not see much difference in the edge but you need to be dead on the bevel because it heats up fast and takes a while if you are not dead on. Tomi is a great WT UA-camr to watch. It has been fun working with him Sam and Richard for our month 4-Ways collab videos.

    I use my drill press almost daily, for all sorts of tasks, including metal work... can't beat it for accuracy, especially when drilling from both sides to eliminate tear-out, of if drilling at an angle other than 90°, so I I have to disagree on that one. I agree wholeheartedly with your comments on pocket hole jigs. Never used one; never will. It seems a "cheat" or a cheap shortcut when there are more traditional methods of joinery. I also agree with your choice of the Mortising jig - my drill press (with its excellent, shop-built table and fence) along with my Narex Richter mortising chisels work well, and are far more rewarding to use. I do have a 1/4 sheet sander, but mostly because it was my dad's, and has sentimental value. But it is also a good finishing sander, on which I normally keep higher grit paper loaded, to do minimally invasive "between finish coats" sanding. A few years ago, I made a full-featured, large surface router table. Mine differs from yours in that I designed it to clamp on an adjustable-height workmate. It has a full featured fence system, excellent dust collection, and a precision Jess-Em router lift. I don't use it terribly often, but when given the choice between the table or one of my hand-held plunge or trim routers, I find the table to be more precise, and safer, usually offering superior dust collection. That's my two cents. I think if you asked 100 woodworkers (hobby, not production - different creatures), you'd be hard pressed to get all of them to agree on the same 5 tools they "don't need". It boils down to personal need and preference. BTW, almost all of my large power tools are mounted on retractable casters, so they can easily be moved wherever I need them at the moment. Except the above-mentioned router table, which is light enough to slide around the smooth concrete floor of my shop.

    This is a very timely video for me as I've been looking to replace my friable wheels with CBN. It sounds like 180 grit with the radiused edges is the sweet spot for touching up my turning tools, and maybe keep a high-grit friable for shaping which I don't think is going to be as common. On the 600 I see that you have the type with the CBN on the side of the wheel. How often does that flat part get used in normal turning tool sharpening?

    Fantastic video Shaun. I learnt something new. I’m confused though, were you doing fat end first or not. You measured a third from end but your drawing was showing thin end on end. When you demonstrated cutting your egg did look like thin end on end and finish cuts on thin end closest to lathe live end. I would think that thin end cut first, to remove more weight from end and then cut fat end last. This might be wrong as you have to cut fatter end from wood which could be problematic getting skew in, but remove enough wood from live end, waste end first. Hope that makes sense. I’ll definitely try an egg now. Always thought about doing eggs. I make Christmas trees, a lot of them and use these as skew and detail, and spindle gouge practice. Yes about 4 cuts to get tree fronds cut, well that’s the theory. Larger trees and hard Australia Timbers do take s few more cuts. Thanks for this one.
