Tool Post Grinder, 7x Mini Lathe

The mounting is rock solid once you bolt it onto the compound rest, and it tracks true with zero chatter on light passes. I've been using it to clean up a stubborn shoulder on a steel shaft, and the finish came out surprisingly smooth for a hobby-grade unit. Took me about twenty minutes to install,

I was a bit nervous about modifying my mini lathe, but swapping out the compound rest took less than ten minutes. The grinder runs smoothly and gives a clean finish on small parts, which is exactly what I needed for my hobby projects.

Swapping out the compound rest for this tool post grinder was surprisingly easy and it fits perfectly on my mini lathe. The rigid mounting makes it feel much more stable than I expected for a light-duty accessory, giving me better control on small hobby projects.
