   I have a small 6 x 12 surface grinder, and I have used it.... for   
   flattening and squaring vise jaws so I can dial in the fixed jaw or the   
   removable jaw on a mill table.  I tried it for some hardened knife steel   
   and the heat warping made it a useless waste of time.  I've gotten a lot   
   more use out of my D-Bit grinder, not always for its intended purpose.

   My surface grinder has been useful, I sharpened jointer blades on the arbor   
   and cleaned up the top of my anvil with it, plus salvaging dull brand-name   
   endmills and large taps (between centers) bought cheap. It has probably paid   
   back its $100 price by regrinding good endmills. The choice between a   
   surface grinder and a 6 jaw lathe chuck would be difficult, I use both,   
   neither is essential. The smaller 6 jaw on a 5C mount in a hex collet block   
   is good for milling wrench flats on short pieces that don't fit a collet and   
   can slip in a 3 jaw.
