does the job for me and was a bit cheaper than the usual names found in the likes of axminster.

Some time ago I brought the Rexon wetstone grinder and it's still going well. The wheel runs horizontally which I find good for planer blades. I don't think Rexon are imported now so a new one is unlikely but just to say I find the horizontal wheel arrangement good unless I want to hollow grind anything in which case I will use a belt sander more often than the bench grinder.

Funny I looked on ebay to illustrate the model but missed that one. Not that I need to buy another.
