I was working on my lathe handle today, some hard metal I had laying around, when taking almost my last cut (0.15 dia.) I just went a little too deep when the whole rod started to bend and wobble and started to jam. I hated to start over so I brought out my little grinder, forgot I had it (see pic). Since my main grinder was too big I brought out this small one and ground off a few thousands of the tip to finish it off and make it fit. My handle was a double taper and would not chuck up in lathe, so I had to do it this way. saved me from starting over. I got this grinder over 20 years ago and does a nice job. It has dovetail slots for all the different attachments to slip into. I have never seen one like this since I got mine.
