Thanks to all. $210 is out of the budget. Odie, I have looked at all you have mentioned but nothing in one of the finer grits. Will check out the videos and other forum mentioned. Need to get the tools sharp. I'll see what kind of edge I can get with what I have. I do wnat to find a diamond wheel as suggested. Could I use my wife's diamond ring?
John.......
I agree with MM in the post above this one. You will not be happy with really fine grits.....in my experience, they tend to overheat the tool too easily, because you'll be tempted to press too hard. If you don't use any feed pressure, it'll grind so slowly that.........you'll be tempted to press too hard!
MM and I previously asked what grits are you wishing to locate?
If you'd like to try a 120gt wheel, I have a CGW white wheel in 120gt. (Made in Israel, slightly used, now 5 7/8" diameter, 3/4" wide, 1/2" sleeved hole. You can have this one, if you want it.....you pay for the shipping.
I also have a Norton 80gt SG wheel that is also slightly used, 5 7/8" diameter, 3/4" wide, 1/2" hole, that I'd sell at a good price, if you are interested. I just checked on this wheel, and it doesn't look like it's available anymore at CSUSA, but I think it was around $60 new. If you want this one, you can have it for half that price.....again, you pay shipping.
The 80gt Norton SG wheel is the one I've been using for the past ten or twelve years......it's the one I'd recommend. Expensive, but well worth it, in my opinion. I currently have them installed on both sides of my 8" grinder.
