Bill, if you are going to be in Atlanta and there is a lathe to play on, I have wood and tools, and 600 and 1000 grit CBN wheels... Don't have the old school wheels any more though...

Speaking of lapping fluid, I was about to order some to clean my DMT diamond card with. Would something like WD40 work for that? or some other common workshop chemical?Jamie,
'Hardened' steel is fine on CBN wheels, which means that bench chisels, card scrapers, and hand saw blades are generally fine. I have made a scraper or three out of an old hand saw. The garden shovel or a lawn mower blade are not. The metal under the tantung on a Big Ugly tool is a bit soft. I have found that the Trend lapping fluid works better at getting build up off your wheels than a heavy duty scraper.
