    Grinder on lathe

    Has anyone tried mounting a small bench grinder on a lath cross slide to use like a toolpost grinder?

    I have seen rotary tools on lathes, angle grinders and various other tools, but never a small bench grinder.

    Is there some reason why this is a bad idea?

    Re: Grinder on lathe

    There may be several problems:
    The height of the disc and the axis of the material if the lathe is small can be different
    If the grinder is small, it may have low power and slow down the entire disc when cutting


    But you can easily try even temporarily fixing the grinder for syport.
    This experiment will not cost you much effort
