Great Wheel, never going back to diamond or stone
This is the correct wheel for high speed steel turning tools.<br />I had just told my wife that I do not think I have ever had sharp tools until I switch to CBN.  I was quite satisfied with my sharp edges with diamond wheels, but this one blew me away.  I roughed turned 25 bowls with bargain priced bowl gouges with only 3 stops to freshen the edges.<br /><br />If you listen, you will hear your cutting edges come into sharp.  When you sharpen by ear, you take less material off and done sooner.<br /><br />If you are not a safety nut, take all your guards and shields off and it will fit on a 6 inch bench grinder with the oneway sharpening system jigs no problem<br /><br />I noticed as well that the wheel was peck drilled to balance it.  It runs real real quiet.  I have never been able to hear the motor in my bench grinder before while it is running.<br /><br />If you are looking around for a solution to get off of stone wheels or white wheels, do this one.
