Got some questions regarding grinding HSS tools
It is suggested a belt sander is better than a grinding wheel. I have no problem with that but how about the 6” disk we have on the side of a belt sander, is this better to use (to me it’s more convenient).
In my area I can’t find the wax grease stick it is suggested to use but I found “Formax F-26 Grease stick” which is not a stick but comes in a tube similar to one we use on a grease gun. The stuff inside is kind of solid and I wonder how do you apply this to the sanding belt. I used a wooden stick to scrape the grease from the tube and applied to the belt and looks fine to me but how much is enough?
If I decided to use my bench mounted grinder which has on one side a 36 grit wheel is it a good idea to apply wax grease on it?
