The best price on cbn wheels is at woodturnerswonders.com a pair of 8x
1.5 wheels is $250. Other places want around $200 each. Another
advantage to cbn wheels, is that you can remove the guards on your
grinder, since steel wheels don't explode. Thus using 1.5" wide wheels
instead of 1" wide wheels, The only disadvantage, is that you can't
grind any non hardened steel. No bolts, no angle iron, etc.


Wow - that seems like a restriction that makes those wheels almost
impractical for most use.


it becomes a grinder for High speed steel only.
Which is realy what I want it for.

I use my 1" sander for most mild steel.
