While we have wheels made from other materials, they're for carbide and are not mounted. Until we have solid dust collection, carbide grinding is a significant dust hazard and is not allowed.

Materials other than steel on the white wheel can cause dangerous wheel loading.

Materials other than steel on the white wheel can cause dangerous wheel loading. Aluminum lathe tools aren't worth your time anyway.
    
The wheels are designed for grinding on the flat only. For a hollow grind, it's actually notably cheaper to use a normal pedestal grinder.

A miter fence exists, but it's a hack. One that's a protractor and has a thumb screw would be nice.

=== Grinding Wheels ===
 +
Wheels aren't easy to find. The only online manufacturer locateable was [http://www.wttool.com/index/page/product/product_id/489/category_id/13473/product_name/CGW+Plate+Mounted+Cup+Wheel CGW]. A finer wheel on the other side of the spindle would be nice, but they're not readily available.

 +
Wheel specs:
 +
* Aluminum oxide (for HSS), preferably white
 +
* Plate mounted, type 50
 +
* 6" wheel diameter; 1" height
 +
* 1" arbor hole
 +
* Check the machine for RPM

=== Dressing ===

Grab a cheapy diamond dresser from the internet and be gentle with it. The one we had is no more.
