Rikon 1/2HP slow speed 8" grinder on sale at rockler

[Ryan Mooney]

Sold out until Feb, but still a decent deal. IMHO the 1/2H is probably a bit low powered for some of the CBN wheels but the lighter aluminum or resin based ones would probably work fine, and the white wheels that come on it are actually pretty dang good for most stuff.

Low wheel speed helps prevent tools from overheating as you sharpen them.

Dad has a couple of these. Got them on a special at the Woodworking Shows back when they used to come to the left coast. Priced too good to get only one . They have been reliable and of a quality beyond their price point.
