Notice the wheel is not true.
However that doesn't seem to bother him.
It also is running in a water trough to keep the wheel wet.
Thanks for the link.

This keeps the sword cool as well, so you can grind after hardening without fear of damaging the temper.
One can grind engraving tools (which are brittle hard) in much the same way.
