It has a sharpening stone one side and a grinding wheel the other. I rewired it today, and it now works again. I've sharpened spades, axes, chisels etc and now need to think of other uses for it: Any ideas? _________________ www.smokedfoodsdirect.co.uk Back to top muntjac 2 Star Club Joined: 28 Oct 2006 Posts: 661 Location: lowestoft Posted: Mon Mar 26, 2007 11:25 pm    Post subject: works for shaping wood and sanding as well .. or mine does lol. put a polishing wheel ( from shoe repair shops ) and urt shoes wil look like mirrors .. dont tell the scouts tho wire whel for derusting .... wear safety gear for all you do on it tho mate _________________ Munty's Agricultural Machinary and Garden Tool Forum - discuss it buy it sell it Back to top lloyd 5 Star Club Joined: 17 Jun 2006 Posts: 2562 Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2007 12:24 am    Post subject: Shaping wood...now you've given me thoughts.
