Norman, These are aluminium oxide - you said before that you wanted silicon - did you really mean silicon [carbide] or was it that you just didn't want diamond? https://www.abtec4abrasives.com/dish-and-saucer-shaped-grinding-wheels-568-c.asp They have 4", 4.5" and 6" but no 5". For some reason the 4.5" is much more expensive than the 4" or 6". Phil. |
| NormanV:
Thank you Phil, that is what I am looking for. I suppose 4.5" is less common, shame it's so much more expensive. Norman |

Norman( and other interested parties), the bedroom-workshop.com site may prove an interesting resource. Cheers Norm |

There's an awful lot of material to come off. I will find the right wheel eventually. --- End quote --- My link provided you with a diamond type wheel, did you look at it? Lot less grit comes off that than the others suggested. Given that you are uncomfortable with dressing the wheel I thought it might be the most suitable for you. And less money to boot. |

You need to be more careful and have a good hand eye coordination. Again if you are not comfortable doing something don't do it. --- End quote --- You are joking right? I wonder what kinds of gears would result. If the teeth aren't all ground equally and radially then the gear teeth will not be of the intended shape. |
