Bench Grinder Help

Just got gifted a bench grinder from a friend but I know little to nothing about it. It is a 6" wheel grinder by KTS Tools (model BG-6 if that means anything). I want to replace the wheels but not sure what is the best for knife making. I work with a lot of tool steel and recycled blades. This will be for smoothing out rough edges after cutting the blank out with a plasma cutter and generally heavy removal.

Like I said I'm a total newb when it comes to owning my own bench grinder so any help is really appreciated. ALSO I'd love some input on whether I should just buy a new one. This seems like a old reliable piece of equipment so I'd love to gfix it and use it rather than purchase a new plastic grinder.

Here's 2 dancing locks as a preemptive gesture of gratitude

thanks a lot!


Joey
