    Hi all,

    I'm looking to pick up a number of these units
    http://toolguyd.com/hand-powered-compact-grinding-wheel/

    I've ordered one from the states but I'm wondering if anyone knows a UK or Irish supplier please?

    Thank you

    I think you will struggle as they are pretty obsolete. The great furniture maker James Krenov used to advocate them in his books as its impossible to overheat tools with them. Most people will aspire to water cooled wheels like the Tormek - grossly overpriced imho.
