Minecraft Grindstone Guide:

The best use for the Grindstone is removing enchantments and removing the Enchantment Cost penalty of that item. This is because every enchantment you equip on an item with the anvil (and every time you repair an item) will increase the Enchantment Cost of that item. You can use an item on the Grindstone to 'reset' an item's enchantments and Enchantment Cost penalty!
