I thinking that I would like to make a band sharpener machine.
Today I picked up a 10" compound miter saw from the junkyard.
I cant find anything wrong with it and I already have 3.
So being that it's a compound saw I thought I could mount a
10" grind stone on the arbor and sharpen blades with it.
I can make the vise and feed unit.

So what do you-all think ?

My first thought was 10" bench grinders run at 1,750 rpm while 8" and smaller run 3,600 rpm.  I would really make sure the rock is rated for the speed your saw runs at.

Other than the above caution I think it might work ok.

Yea... I found a lot of 8 and 10" stones on E-bay. None has the RPM listed.
I sent a message to each one asking what the RPM is listed on the Stone.
I will not buy one without the RPM marked on the blade.
years ago I had a grind stone blow up and destroy parts of my shop.
I was lucky and did not get hit.
E-bay has 10" diamond stones for sale. I think they are high RPM.

The bms500 spins at 4280rpm, so an 8" wheel for it might work, although you'd need a shaft spacer. Just don't buy a diamond wheel for sharpening steel blades, carbon diffuses into steel at grinding temps.

I've read of an RAS used for the same thing you want to do so I can't see why not. Like you said though, be aware of max RPM.

If I was doing it, I'd use a CBN wheel with a cooling rig set up and just pull the thing through the gullet.  No fancy cams needed.
