I'm looking to buy a small bench grinder - small in my case means 3"-ish ??
I live in an apartment, so something small is essential due to lack of space. The standard 6" grinder is wayyyyyyy over kill for my use. My mill/lathe are Sherline and I'm building small steam engines (the plan anyway ). Probably will be used mostly for grinding lathe bits and misc deburring.
Here's MicroMark's 3" grinder :

I have a Dremel and a whole slew of bits and goodies for that. Would that make sense to use for a simple small grinder ? Do up a horizontal mounting fixture for it ?
Any ideas/suggestions appreciated.
Thanks !
