My grinder at home has a Walker chuck (6 x 14) with the fields lengthwise. permanent mag .
The one at work is a walker (8 x 24) running crosswise. Electro mag. We have been looking at a new full auto machine and the fields are lengthwise (12 x 24).
I'm not sure what are the practical differences to choose for. This can probably be speced out.
For sharpening planer knives on my home one the crosswise would seem to work better due to my fixture. All are fine pitch poles with the crosswise one being a little wider.
Any comments or preferences, or like me, it's what you have.
99 pct of my grinding has been at work on the crosswise fields. The only time I really had a problem is the fields could have been narrower on some real small diameter spacers.
