Had to vote other. I faff around and sometimes wet grind. If it takes to long, I go to the dry grind, stuff it up, then try sary sharp 80 grit.
Cheers,
Adam

I go with Groggy and Routerman. White Aum wheel on cheapo XUR bench grinder and Carbatec grinding jig. Pot of water for cooling. Got quite good at it since I got the gig and watching my Sensei doing it at school.
Recent challenge was gringing an arc on a plane iron for my new scrub plane. Took a while, but no worries.
First go was the scary sharp show with lots of wet and dry. Pain in the ass. Cumbersome, ripped paper and time consuming. The grinder, jig and Nip waterstones are much simpler and I invariably get the dry shave result.
One thing to watch out for is trying to sharpen POS chisels. All you get is a tenancious wire which filp flops to either edge until you strop it off then the blades dull, then you sharpen ad nauseum........Bodgy

I am using 120 grit I guess it loses it's edge very quickly. I just do the primary with the belt sander and then scary sharp to get it close finish on a water stone.

For the past 12 months I have been using a slow (1400ish) speed grinder.
I find that this is much easier to control and less likely to loose the temper.
With some patience I can grind a primary bevel on a 6mm chisel without having to cool it in water.

Has anyone tried one of the Norton cool running blue wheels?
