Grinding wheel

[Michael Perez]

Hello again my woodturning friends and lifeguards

Sorry to bother you again, if I have to choose one grinding wheel which one would you recommend and what grit?

Here in my country I have 2 quality options Zische 36 grit and 150 grit.(maybe one too corse and the other too fine).

thank you so much

Go with the 150. The 36 would only be good for rough changing the profile of your tool.

Yup go with the 150, It can still remove steel at a fair rate and it will give you a good finish

 

[Mark Jundanian]

Of those two I would choose the 150.

Are there any options for CBN wheels in Peru?

Thank you, im just going to confirm the Zische wheel hole size, grade and if its aluminum oxide.
Otherwise I have these options that just checked:
1.Norton wheels white, 100 grit, J grade. https://www.sharpeningsupplies.com/Norton-White-Grinding-Wheel-P38C20.aspx
2. Norton cool grinding wheel, 120 grit, H grade. https://www.leevalley.com/en-us/sho...and-wheel-dressers/32981-cool-grinding-wheels
3. Norton 3X 80 grit, K grade (read is a good choice but maybe too rough). https://www.sharpeningsupplies.com/Norton-3X-Blue-Grinding-Wheel-K-Grade-P101C20.aspx
4. Norton 38A, 150 grit, doesn’t specify the grade. https://www.amazon.com/Norton-Pedes...5bc6e59479&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mr_hp_atf_m&th=1

Thank you if I finally buy in Peru I’ll buy the 150.

Thank you, no i haven’t seen it here i just realized that maybe I can find Norton I’ll be calling today for prices and availability.

Hello do you think about Norton 38A, 150 grit, doesn’t specify the grade. https://www.amazon.com/Norton-Pedes...5bc6e59479&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mr_hp_atf_m&th=1
Is it a good one?any experience ? It has the best price but don’t want to regret maybe not the best for sharpening turning tools.

The norton which you picked on Amazon would be my choice. It also comes in 100 grit which may be a better choice but I use cbn wheels so I am not the best to advise you on grit. i AM SURE OTHERS WILL CHIME IN.

Thank you so much im totally new to this I’ll check the 100 grit

My choice would be the Norton 3X 80 grit and my second choice would be the Norton 3X 100 grit. In my opinion the 150 is too fine.

Thank you so much today I found a Makita dealer that sells 80 and 100 griit white grinding wheel here in my country those are the ones that come with the makita grinder.
I hope its a good option im worried if I import them they can brake in the way (when I received the Rikon lathe the plastic cover was broken)

Michael, in Argentina the best option is the rubber expansion wheel. You can find all the grits for metals. I like the wheel so much I got me one, I buy the sandpaper and bring it with me too. They last surpassingly long too. I can post a picture later.

Thank you so much, I just checked at Amazon and looks very interesting but im not finding 8" basically 6"and 10". I don’t know if there’s any brand that has options as well as the sanding belts.
It will be very helpful to me if you post your picture and where to buy all the accessories.
Now is another option because in Peru i just found a white aluminum oxide made by Makita they sell the one that comes with the Makita grinding wheel.

I use a lot of white wheels because they are free to me. But if I had to pay for them, I wouldn't even consider it. They wear out very quickly. Considering the price, the CBN makes a lot more sense.
