FWIW those blocks of abrasive used to clean a diamond wheel do a bang
up job of "sharpening" a wire wheel and making it cut better.

Shush! Nobody's supposed to know that. The usual method of using wire
wheels is to press the workpiece harder into the under-powered,

Can you say "porcupine"? I knew you could.


under-revved, wrong trim length, wrong wire size, wrong diameter, wrong
width wire wheel. I'm convinced that less than 1% of people use a wire
wheel properly and I want to keep it that way! You're supposed to use a
brush once, destroy it and throw it away...then go buy a new one.

But your brushes can be mishandled like that and keep on ticking,
right? No wonder you get the big bucks.
