[QUOTE="Hangfire, post: 4385448, member: 27673"] [USER=477]@montesa[/USER] I purchased the 1/4 hp grinder and sharpening wheel kit off of a fella that was always at the gun shows sharpening knives and he gave me a class on how to use it....apparently dangerously. His grinder was set up with the on/off rocker switch towards him which makes the wheels turn towards the user but by simply spinning it around with the switch facing away I can see where the wheel will spin away from the user.....I do remember when he showed me how to use it he did make a special point in telling me to watch the angle of the blade so that the blade edge didn't come into contact with oncoming the wheel which I've always been careful to do except for that one time and it landed me in the ER. I've got 1/2 dozen kitchen knives to sharpen for the wife and I'll make sure that the wheel is turning away from me from now on.....thanks for the heads up. [/QUOTE]
