Morning all. Although this could have been posted in the 'Sharpening' section, I put it here because it relates to sharpening woodturning tools and Al-Ox wheels. I hope that's OK.
I have a Vicmarc 200mm slow-speed grinder, which came with a 36G and a 60G Al-Ox wheel, both 32mm wide. I want to swap out the 36G for an 80G or 120G, but can't find a source of the 32mm wide wheels.
I've looked at my usual suppliers, and asked the Sandpaper Man, but the nearest I can find is 40mm wide, and only 60G.
To fit one of those, I'd have to leave off the safety guard.
Don't fancy that. :no:
I don't want to fit a narrow 25mm wheel, either, unless I really have to.
(And I bought the Vicmarc partly because I thought it'd be easy to get wheels/parts. I didn't realise that 32mm is such an odd size.)
In the longer term, I'll fit a 40mm CBN wheel on that side, so I can safely leave the guard off, but for now does anyone know of a supplier for 200mm x 32mm wide wheels, preferably in 120G or 80G?
Thanks in advance, guys.
Edit: I also have a Vicmarc fingernail grinding jig on the way, due tomorrow or Tuesday, so after a couple of days playing with it I can write a bit of a review on the complete setup.
