Why do you want something other than your bench grinder ? What tools do you intend to grind if it's lathe tools you really don't need anything different unless you intend to go the whole Hogg and use a tool & cutter grinder.

A bit more info regarding your intentions or aspirations might help.

sorry should have been clearer what i mean't was do i need special type of wheel?

like for my tig tips i have green wheels on mini grinder specificaly for that job.

will be getting seperate grinder as want to keep just for lathe tooling.

I have one of these. No complaints so far. **LINK**

Not the best tool rests. But then it's not in the price bracket of one that does. I tell myself I may someday make some.

I sharpen most of my HSS tooling on a belt sander.

Mostly I rough out on a grit wheel and put on a quick polish with a diamond wheel.
