Grinding wheels

[The Artilleryman]

Where's best to get 8"grinding wheels at a decent price?

The vendor had warned me from the 1st contact about the fine wheel was bad, I've just finished wiring it up and to see a pedestal grinder walking down the workshop is scary, especially as the off button is a little sticky.

Not too keen on having to use nylon bushes or is that only on the cheap wheels.

nothing wrong with using nylon centers the stone is gripped with the sideplate washers . just run an old carbide drill across the face of stone or an old angle grinder diamond cutting disk to true it up

I'd be interested in this too, and also 6" wheels for my older Herbert surface grinder ?

A little off topic, Just had a look at one of the links above and stumbled on these

Any one use them? They claim to remove much more material than a disc..

Just a reminder, If you do store spare grinding wheels, store them flat, not standing on end!!
