[engineerone]

since jason mentioned a flat grinder in another thread
and i was too late to stop him buying the dakota

i have an almost new draper gwd 205a the newest of which retails at 154. quid.

in the box, i have used it twice. has all the bits.

one flat wheel with jig, water trough and a vertical dry white wheel.

what can i say i am now a tormek man.

I'll swap it for some Turkey ;D Mine is great , infact a little to great as i have to regrind everytime i use my chisels now Scary sharp is just no good for heavy joinery IMHO .

[engineerone]

thing is jason now you know what sharp is, you can't live with almost sharp ;D

anyway is that a home made turkey

Almost sharp is better for me , scary sharp is a waste of time for what i do . Maybe some sharp for the hogging out and then scary sharp for finishing but i aint got time for all that b*ll*x ;D


P.S the turkey had a nice life before they killed it and i cooked it .

guess what i tried it out tonight, and found it very useful for
flattening the backs of the blades on my plough plane.

interesting

so for the moment, not on the market.

messy bloody thing though, the water just exits to the floor or your bench. their answer a piece of clear plastic tube
so when i have worked out how to make that better might use it more, then of course will have to get the stone grader

still saved a bunch of time on those plough blades, will try it on a grown up plane blade tomorrow.

Paul , dont you have the sponge rim to absorb the water ? No water flicking around on mine it just get put into the outlet tank .

[engineerone]

come on jason this is a draper

there is a sponge rim, but no collection cup underneath, just the clear plastic pipe

so will jury rig something later
