Anyone doing this?
Because I suck at flat grinding on a Platen I like doing my flat grinds parallel to the contact wheel. However it is more difficult to keep precise control.
Would like to do them edge up across a horizontal contact wheel. This will really require being able to run the belt in both directions (I'm lazy) for best control.
Which grinder would work best? Saw a Video on Kevin McClung aka "Mad Dog" doing this on a 4 x 40 he modified. Open to all suggestions
