What is being asked for

Grinding machine for sharpening wood chiesels, lathe tools and TIG welding electodes

Record Sharpening system £150

Woodturner's sharpening package £53.99: https://www.norfolksawservices.co.uk/products/machinery/sharpening-systems/record-power/record-power-wg250-wp-woodturners-sharpening-p-(1)

Why/how this will be good to have

It green wheel is necessary for sharpening TIG electrodes
Small bench grinder can be kept seperate just for tooling
Wheel dressers necessary to keep grinding wheel in good condition
Record Sharpening would be good for ease of use and consistant sharpening of chisels
Woodturner's sharpening package would enable sharpening and maintenance of woodturning tools for the lathe, making the lathe much more usable (all tools currently blunt and unusable)
Jigs could be purchased in future to enable sharpening knives and other tools, scissors.

Who is supporting the project
