Hi Steph
Can't help with the all in one wonder but it looks fun!
I have an Inland grinder which is very easy to use - I'm sure you won't have any problems.

Not really much to say about them Steph. Just a case of getting stuck in and trying. Can't really add anything very constructive I'm afraid. I haven't used the saw so don't know anything about that 'though I'm getting one to fit my existing machine.
Let us know how you get on! :)
Oh, thought of something. Hold on tight to that glass when grinding (projectile glass is not good for the face!) and wear eye protection.
i'm guessing i need to set up some sort of splash guard?
Not too sure about your machine (can't visualise what it looks like) but on my grinder the lap is covered by a guard so you don't really get too wet 'though if your water tank is running too fast, there's a lot more spray. They say you only need it to drip once every 2 seconds (I think from memory) which is all I use and it's sufficient to keep the lap wet.
righty ho. thanks beverley. i'm sure once i get it i'll give it a go on some scrap and if i dont get anywhere i'll be back on with questions!
