CBN Wheel Grit Recommendations - American Association of …
PA. Apr 17, 2018. #1. I am going to change over to CBN wheels for my grinder. Ken Rizza of Wood Turners Wonders has recommended for me an 80grit for reshaping and scrapers and 350 or 600grit for regular sharpening. Two local turners have said that they were unhappy with the 350 because they thought it was too fine a grit and that 80 grit too ...

May 8, 2024 · With CBN wheels you get a computer balanced wheel that never needs to be dressed. For me, that alone is worth the price. Woodturners Wonders has great customer service. With the $99 wheels, who do you call if the balance is off or the cbn wears prematurely? Will they replace it? I think that is the real reason (and value) for the $30 price ...

Jun 3, 2018 · I recently read an article in the June issue of the "American Woodturner" by Tom Wirsing about steels and grinders. He recommends, for a one grinder set up, using a 180 and 600 grit CBN, steel, electroplated wheels. The 180 grit wheels are readily available, but I have not been able to find a 600 grit wheel. Craft Supplies has the Raptor series ...

Jun 20, 2024 · Get the straight wheels. The radius edges are good for sharpening the small hollowing bits, but not as good for straight edges like skews or most of your gouges. I do prefer the 1 hp Rikon or Baldor grinders. The 1/2 hp grinders just don't have enough muscle for me. Pretty much everybody has CBN wheels for sale now.

Aug 15, 2024 · Pretty much every one had CBN wheels for sale, at least any one who sells stuff to turners. I have mostly D Way because the owners are friends. Woodturner's Wonders also sells some at a generally lower price. Theirs are aluminum wheels and a bit lighter than the steel ones from D Way. Go for the 1 1/2 inch wide wheels, and I prefer the straight ...

I 'm going to purchase a CBN Wheel..but. Which one??
Dec 31, 2019. #3. I’ve had CBN for several years now. If it were me, and I was only able to get one wheel, it would be 180 grit. If you have a good AO wheel or blue Norton for reshaping a grind, then maybe a 220 grit. Most woods will dull the higher grit edges on a tool fairly quickly. They all have their place, but for putting a fresh edge ...
My journey to CBN wheels | American Association of Woodturners
Apr 27, 2004 · I got my CBN wheels somewhere about 2012, I think. I use 80 and 180 grit, 1-1/2” wide on my Steel City industrial grinder with 3/4 hp motor. Back in 2019 I aquired one of the new Rikon 1 hp grinders, and its been in my shop with the …
CBN Grinding Wheels - American Association of Woodturners
Feb 17, 2015 · Besides, a 120 grit AO stone is too fine for lathe tool sharpening if you want my opinion. If you get only one CBN wheel, then get a 180 grit. That should give you the closest "equivalence" to 80 grit AO stone. An 80 grit CBN would be somewhat comparable to 43 grit AO.
CBN grinding wheels? | American Association of Woodturners
Dec 29, 2007 · The 180 grit wheel leaves a very fine edge. Any of the matrix wheels on the marked have grits of up to 120, though you can find some that are higher. The 80 grit CBN wheel leaves a more polished edge than any 80 or 120 grit matrix wheel. I have never gotten to meet or see David Ellsworth.
