I recently scored a Baldor model 510 tool grinder in an auction. Sorry, no pics yet, but I'll post some soon. It seems to be fairly new. It had some surface rust on the tables that came off easily with a soak in Metal Rescue. It's missing one of the water trays and one of the table bolts is stripped - I'll be resolving those issues soon. I've already made a new table clamp handle to replace one that was missing.
My main question is regarding the wheels. It is currently outfitted with a green wheel and a diamond wheel. I mostly use HSS tooling aside from a few cemented carbide boring bars. I've read that the diamond wheel shouldn't be used for HSS, but what about the green wheel? If I need to get AO wheels, is a 60 grit alone adequate, or should I get a coarse wheel for roughing?
Thanks as always!
