I'm outfitting for my first lathe, a DVR, which is _supposed_ to show up anytime now. Lowe's just opened here in Kona about a week ago and they have 6" and 8" Delta bench grinders with variable speed - about $90 and $110, respectively. They're certainly not Baldor stout, but are they sufficient for turning tools? Raffan and others talk about what a light touch is required most of the time, the variable speed seems advantageous, and the price is pretty good - so it seems one of these mght be fine. Do most folks prefer 6" or 8"? Thanks!
Peace, Sanaka
