Default 3-4" grinding wheels

Can you still get these in the UK? Wolfcraft and others make them,

Have you tried an industrial grinding stone supplier, probably listed under
grinding and polishing supplies? IME, you can get a very wide range of
wheels from stock and, if they don't meet your needs, I have had as few as
half a dozen wheels made to order by the Universal Grinding Wheel Co Ltd,
although they do have a minimum order charge for specials.


Thanks. I will look that company up, but the solution sounds expensive.
What I am looking for is just the ordinary wheels that were available
in every DIY and hardware store until recently, and are still made and
sold as standard stock - just not in the UK :-(

I may have to order from Europe or the USA.
