Any suggested suppliers?
I have a single phase version of one of these:
http://www.cottandco.com/en/lots/elliott-selecta-double-ended-grinder-on-stand
And it takes 7" wheels. Which I'm struggling to find many of at all, and those that I have spied online appear to be megabucks.
Ideally I'd like a fine(ish) wheel for doing HSS lathe tools. It's currently fitted with a green grit wheel that has a bit of life left but is getting down to the nub. I have another cheapo 8" bench grinder I use for hacking away at steel.
I guess one option would be to feed the 7" grinder with slightly worn wheels from the 8" one but I don't really want the same wheels on each.
It's a really nice grinder and even though it could do with new bearings, gets up to speed and has much more staying power than the crappy draper which has almost 5mm of end float.
