I'm with Jim on this one.
Naturally, you're free to do what you want with your cutter grinder, but I'd suggest hanging onto it and learning how to use it.
You may not do much rotary engraving now, but why limit your offerings to diamond drag?
Before I had my own grinder, I would send cutters out, with mixed results. If a cutter weren't performing properly, I was dead-in-the-water.
Everyone should have a niche.
With the increasing trend toward lasers, those with diamond-drag capability are becoming scarce. Those with drag and rotary capability, even more scarce.
I'm not saying there isn't good money in following the crowd, but there are even more lucrative avenues away from the mainstream.
Edit: I read your post to Jim. As you say, you could use the money now and there are more where that came from.
