Sharpening Guide for a Grinding Wheel

I

REMOVED THE GUIDES(tool rests) that came with my grinder and
replaced them with a single piece of steel angle that spans both
wheels. I use this guide for normal grinding. Then I made a sliding
wooden carriage that correctly angles chisels and plane irons. This
arrangement lets me switch quickly between straight and angled
grinding. I use 80-grit, white aluminum-oxide wheels, which run
cooler than standard wheels.
