The work lamp is made from a BMW replacement headlamp. I'm guessing these are the DRLs (daytime running lamps). I have to have a very large cutter on the mill to get any shadows, probably bigger than this little mill can handle.
LEDs sure have gotten brighter in more recent years. I remember around 35 years ago getting a sample kit from HP of thier High Intensity LEDs. We lit a room with one red one. Now that thing is dim compared to what's out there.
In shop class I learned how to true a wheel, my dad also showed me. My current grinder is quiet* and no vibration at all, that cheapo I had was just that, cheapo. Very poorly made and although I didn't check, it wouldn't surprise me if a dial indicator on the shaft showed problems. Until I replaced it, that thing was good for only one thing, vibrating that mold!
* My current grinder isn't completely quiet, since it has a static phase convertor on it you can hear the motor a little.
