I don't always need a tool post grinder enough to justify expense of dedicated precision tool post grinder. I have a tiny 6" hobbyist lathe that is super precise but struggles a bit when pushed hard to cut off round stock or tubing. I would sometimes use abrasive cut off wheel and hand held grinder. I found a 1/4" collet attachment to fit on 5/8" right angle grinder and used a scrap aluminum C channel to affix it to tool post. Todays testing has found it works well as cut off tool. It will also be used with abrasive flap wheels for polishing and finishing small bores after machining and cross feed will allow it to polish ID and OD with flap wheel. Not sure rag polisher wheel would survive rotation speeds of grinder. Magnetic base plexiglass safety shield is always used but not pictured here.
