Second, Norton
wheels are said to be good. We don't have them here (without searching),
but their surface grinding wheels are good, so they know what they do.

I have numerous Norton surface grinding wheels and they run well.
But I am not impress with their bench grinder wheels. I bought
some 10 inchs ones from MSC and they are thicker on one side than
the other and still do not run well after a lot of dressing with a
diamond.

Therefore I assume that the wheels are made to differnet specs and
probably by different manufacturing plants too.

I have had the highest regard for Norton. Never had a problem with the
grinding stones.

I just recently loaded up on a lot of Norton sanding discs for the orbital
sander from the local HD. Cannot seem to stop them from clogging and no
luck cleaning them. Looked at the box of sanding discs and now I see they
are made in Canada (nothing wrong with Canada, just not what I expected).
So maybe it is just the company that bought out Norton is just using their
name.

Stranger yet the local HD where I got them is about 1/4 mile from the Norton
plant that I assumed was making the sanding discs. Go figure.
