I picked up a Baldor carbide grinder today. The wheels are unusable, far
too worn to do anything useful, they look sort of like lumps of clay.

I see silicon carbide wheels for these from the vendors, but I see nothing
on ebay at all of any kind. Am I searching for the correct string?

I'd like to find a non-SC wheel and maybe one silicon carbide wheel.
Ideally not $60 each .. at that price, I'll rapidly pay more than I paid
for the whole grinder.

Grant. It's time to suck it up! Buy the wheels you need, and be
grateful you have a great tool for a PILE less than retail. Look not at
the cost, but rather, at the worth. Chances are good that the stones you
buy will still be on the machine when your descendants split up your
estate.

:-P

The one I use at work has a green SC wheel on one side, and a very fine
stone (unknown to me, about 1/8 thick by 3/8 wide, on the end face of
the plate) on the other. Works a treat for carbide.
