Review (5/5): Great Wheel, never going back to diamond or stone
This is the correct wheel for high speed steel turning tools.
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.
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.
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
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.
If you are looking around for a solution to get off of stone wheels or white wheels, do this one.
