Thanks everyone, I've ordered the bath, grader, honing compound and truing tool. Looking forward to getting started.

Thanks guys, it's nice to know that I don't need to buy everything at once.
The pension doesn't go very far these days.
I'll get the bath and grader now and order the rest as and when.

Hi there everyone. I'm a bamboo rodmaker hobbiest who always sharpened with waterstones. Yesterday at a local auction house I saw this Supergrind 1200 and left a cheeky bid. Picked it up today for £28.75 including fees. I know quite a lot is missing, water bath etc. but the machine runs quietly and there is almost no evidence of use. The wheel is 200 mm and I can't see any sign of abuse. The honing wheel has seen some usage and I think this may be all the machine has been used for. The white mark on the wheel is bird droppings and the line is pencil.





I will be sharpening plane blades and occasional chisels. By my reckoning I will need to buy a bath, stone grader, anglemaster, truing tool, and some homing compound to get started.
Have I left anything out?

Regards to all,

Simon.
