How many bench grinders for a normal person?

Damn! I missed one. I also have a wet horizontal grinder for tool and blade sharpening. I had forgotten that until I went into the shop. :lol_hitti

What are they like, the whetstones? Been considering one of those for a while for final honing, but never used a whetstone as yet personally. Worthwhile adding one to the collection?

Only have a single 6" Craftsman from the early 90's that is a tank. Good reliable beastie, but I sure have been tempted to get an 8" for more horse power in some operations. But where would I put it?

I think this thread inspired me to get my stand rotating and build a bayonet system. I really like the set up. I still need to replace the dolly with proper wheels and some drop down pins to hold it from moving (although it doesn't move unless you really lean on it). For more info on how it all went together here's a link - (I started my own thread because I didn't want to take over this one).

Heres a pic:



and oh yeah, I bought another grinder on the weekend, a small 1/3 hp belt/disc grindet with 3 extra stones for $15, my 5th one, I couldn't help it :eek:
