Answered an ad on offerup for a delta bench grinder, which is all the ad listed. Turns out, it's a 10" cast iron behemoth I got for 25 bucks. 1725 rpm, 1 hp
My question is what grits and wheel composition is best suited for woodworking tools and general use? Sharpening chisels would be occasional, if I chipped one. I don't have a lathe, so, mostly general purpose use, I guess.
I have to make tool rests for it, but I do have a stand for mounting it to the floor.
I appreciate input and suggestions, thanks.

Yeah, but there s nothing wrong with having a spare heavy duty motor around the shop for some here-to-for unknown DIY tool project. :)

I have a ½HP 3 phase with a freq drive sitting there wailing for a home. any ideas where I could use a variable speed motor with a max RPM of 1800?
