Toolpost Grinder Part 24: First Test Grind

The day has arrived! We finally test the toolpost grinder on a poor, unsuspecting piece of mild steel. After some experimentation, it turns out the best recipe is just a dressed wheel and soluble oil coolant. We also try some other common tricks, like beeswax and polishing compound on the wheel.
