Green for roughing and forming, diamond for finishing

Seeing how well the 150g diamond cut vs the green wheel, I'm going to
disagree this time.

That's true, even with a finer diamond. My 220 kicks ass compared to a
silicon wheel.

I've been around this stuff for more than 50 years now----and have yet to
see one good reason to use silicon over diamond------for anything.

The myth has been hard dying. There was a time when diamond wheels were
cost prohibitive----so they were not commonly found in the shop. That's not
the case any longer. A diamond wheel that used to cost $600 is now
readily available for under $200------so the cost is down more than 300%,

I think you mean 66.67%, don't you? 300% would make them give you
$1,200 for every wheel you take from them. I'd like to attend that
sale, so let me know when that happens, won't you, 'Arry? g

We got our first dusting of snow yesterday afternoon, and there's
about half an inch on the tree branches now. It melted off the ground
so far. How's your White Christmas coming? And how are your neighbors
in flooded Chehalis doing?
