Steel CBN Grinding Wheel with 5/8″ Arbor with 1/2″ Sleeve

CBN Grinding Wheels are the premium wheel for sharpening tool steel (turning tools, chisels, plane irons, etc). DO NOT use for regular steel or aluminum.  These wheels last a lifetime, never lose their shape like a vitrified wheel, and the wide flat surface makes sharpening much easier, especially when working with a jig.

Sizes Available:

• 8″ | 320 Grit | 1.5″ Wide
• 8″ | 180 Grit | 1.5″ Wide
• 8″ | 80 Grit | 1.5″ Wide
• 6″ | 180 Grit | 1″ Wide
• 6″ | 80 Grit | 1″ Wide

Notes on the 8″ CBN Grinding Wheels:

The 8″ wheels are 1-9/16″ wide, with squared-off corners. The 3/8″ wheel rim is coated, providing an ideal flat surface for sharpening drill bits and similar tasks. They are bored at 5/8″ and also come with a 1/2″ adapter sleeve for grinders with a 1/2″ shaft. These wheels are made of steel and are heavy, weighing approximately 8 pounds each. A 3/4 – 1 HP, 1800 RPM grinder is recommended for use. If using a grinder with less horsepower, the wheels can still be used, but you may need to give them a flick with your hand to get them started. Additionally, these wheels are well-made and have been tested for balance. Any necessary adjustments for balancing have already been made, which may be indicated by a small hole on one side.

Notes on the 6″ CBN Grinding Wheels:

The corners on the 6″ CBN Grinding Wheels are also squared off, and the 9/16″ wheel rim is coated, providing an ideal flat surface for sharpening drill bits and similar tools. They are bored at 5/8″ and also come with a 1/2″ adapter sleeve for grinders with a 1/2″ shaft. Made of steel, these wheels are heavy and should be used on an 1800 RPM grinder.
