   In my opinion a cheap diamond wheel is more useful than a dedicated   
   machine for freehand grinding.  That being said I have a   
   D-Bit/tool&cutter grinder for grinding carbide... with cheap diamond   
   wheels.   
      
   I do have the problem of to many grinders and not enough place too put   
   them.
