Sean,
I come from a different background, I am a knifemaker and a blacksmith. I use a 2 x 72 belt grinder, which is common in the knife trade. Which I built both of the ones I have. I just got my little lathe and done some neat things with it, but what I did was a refinement of things I have done in the past. I also own a mill/drill and have made jewelry, remade tools, found out what not to do with some bits.
I have to order some of the accessory items for my little lathe, because some of the things I want to do, needs another chuck or a third hand type device.
Oh, and congratulations on taking the plunge, it took me a while also.
Jerry

I chose this one manly for price, but I have some thigns in mind. I
been reading alot of the pages that people make and am amazed at the
stuff they design and build!! I actaully was planning on doing some
toolpost grinding after I make a proper holder... I figured I might
use my dremel with the flexible tool attachment, what other things
cna I sue for a grinder?
