I have occasional use for a dremel wheel to grind or sharpen on small areas. Is there a better place than Dremel to get a good grade wheel or diamond grinder for these small project uses?

Dremel type grind wheel

I find the Dremel stuff incredibly expensive, so I get the Chinese knockoffs from eBay.
Maybe not the same quality, but a fraction of the price.
Mostly I use small wire wheels and buy them in bags of 100 for about $25. Rather than $8 each.

Go to https://www.riogrande.com/ They have a huge collection but they may not be less expensive because some of these are jewelry grade grinding stones. They do get them to you quickly. I also like their choice of burrs.
American Science & Surplus ( http://www.sciplus.com/ ) has a category for "Rotary & Dremel Tools" from the left-hand menu. Inventory varies because it's surplus after all.
Harbor Freight also has some Dremel knockoffs.
