Products I recommend (affiliate):
Dewalt 6” Bench Grinder: https://amzn.to/3WxHHVf
(Excellent for the money. Includes surprisingly good tool-rest.)
Grinding Wheel Dresser: https://amzn.to/4fvWTLd
(Tiny, but it works.)
Grinder Wheel Dressing Stick: https://amzn.to/4cea68I
(A cheap but effective alternative for dressing grinder wheels.)
Dewalt Medium Wire Wheel: https://amzn.to/3SG2BAh
(Good value; works well.)
Replacement Grinding Wheel: https://amzn.to/3LUL0B2
(Affordable; reduces vibration.)
Safety Glasses: https://amzn.to/46BK4Li
(This style is so comfortable, I forget I’m wearing them.)

Other Products (affiliate):

WEN 6” Grinder: https://amzn.to/3yEx8HT
(A weak and flimsy grinder…that will work in a pinch).
Shopfox 6” Grinder: https://amzn.to/4fAwb43
(A generally good tool that only takes 5/8” wheels.)
Narrow wire wheel: https://amzn.to/3WDbewE
(Fits the narrow arbor of the Shopfox grinder, but not very well.)
