Hey all,
What all can you do with a benchgrinder? And is the one that Sears
has on sale for $58 worth it? Any ideas? Thanks!

As my workbench is not really large enough to have the grinder permanently
attached I generally don't bother fastening it down for grinding small jobs (eg
cleaning up bolt ends after they have been length adjusted by hacksaw). I
rediscovered gyroscopic motion recently when I picked up the still spinning
grinder by the motor (a fine and a coarse abrasive wheel were on either ends)
It's too long ago to remember the equations of motion that govern this strange
phenomena but if you gently wave the grinder around it seems to develop a mind
of its own as to where it wants to go. Try it - but I accept no responsibility
etc...
