Looking for 8" x 1" vitrified grinding wheels, preferably Norton 3X SG, I or K grade, 46 to 80gr. With many having converted to CBN the old wheels may be taking up space in the shop.
 
I threw away a Norton wheel. It was so out of balance and seemed to change with use. (required frequent adjustment of One-Way balancing hub)
 
I think I still have mine from my Rikon (both actually I think - I replaced em with CBN) but I have no idea what original grit was or is. I also have a Ruby wheel (I forget what compound it was, used in my lawnmower blade grinder, it greatly reduced blade overheating) just drop me a PM if interested.. make offer.
 
I'll look through my stash. I have a pile on a shelf but can't remember the details. I use CBN on all but two bench grinders.
