Dished grinding wheels
philf:
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?

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

I will find the right wheel eventually.

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.

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.
