OK so what brand of wire wheel do you like and has held up to hard use
without shedding every wire before they are really worn?
Looking for a pair, 6" diameter 1" face. Mostly for rust and scale removal.
I was given a couple of the current B&D consumer wheels (think they were
from Lowes) Supposedly plated steel wire. One is so out of balance the
grinder wants to walk off the mount. The other one must be to buff your
finger nails. The wire is JUNK and sheds if you even look at it crooked!

Might want to ask Tom Gardner about them.

But they are in Canada now. I'd buy Osborn or Weiler. I'm not sure
where to get them except at a welder's supply.


Really? All gone away? I wasnt aware that they had moved after they
bought.

And all your long time people?

Fill me in, either here or via email if you would.
