Should We Have An Abrasive Machining, Or "grinding" Forum?

Well files are actually cutting tools I know, I'm a smart ass. LOL A separate area for grinding type stuff seems like a great idea.

In all fairness, grinding abrasive is a cutting tool aswell. The little grains actually pull a chip, although it looks like dust

I would like to see a section on using surface grinders, belts grinders and grinders in general. Dust control and grinding liquids could also be addressed. Looking forward to more posts

I agree that a forum for surface, I.D & O.D grinding would be a good idea. My only comment on the subject is that this might overlap with lathe tool bit sharpening & possibly drill & milling cutter sharpening. IMO, because lathe tool bit sharpening is so closely integrated with lathe operation, it should probably stay where it is but cutter grinding would probably be a good fit under grinding. So would lapping if the title were 'Abrasive Machining'.
