This is one of the things I need to buy for proper bike work. A bench grinder with a big wire wheel on one end that can be switched for a polishing wheel.
Years ago I had one with the best stand I've ever used. I've been tryin to think of what I made that out of and I think it was the bottom of a resturant table. The bottom was weighted so it did not move around, the height was about right, and it allowed you to move it outside for the kind of polishing that throws black dust everywhere.
The wire wheels allow you to remove gaskets and rust very quickly.
At the moment I have to chuck my hand grinder in the vise which is really a poor way to work.
First I had to build the shop extension and other than wiring and sheet rocking the inside that is pretty much done.
There is a lot more to the motorcycle hobby than just bikes. It is true that I have worked on Nortons in a one flight up apartment in Boston but given a choice......
