I am looking into getting a universal cutter grinder. It has always been on my wish list for sharpening drill bits and I would like to see whether I can use it for mill tools (occasional d-bit) or my HSS lathe tooling as well (currently I am using a belt sander but I have to do a lot of honing afterwards).
Here a few questions regarding wheels:
- What wheel grits are you using / are you using different grits for roughing and finishing?
- What type of wheels are you using (I am starting with HSS), ALOX or CBN? Or are you having luck with using diamond wheels against recommendation for HSS (some reputable youtubers seem to go that route)
- Where do you buy your wheels (like Norton's in the 4" size) in the US?
- I see a lot of cheap Chinese CBN / diamond wheels on ebay. They have 20mm arbor holes -- any experience using the Shars 3/4" adapters (505-1009) with them?
I probably need to try what works for me, but any advise giving me a head-start is highly appreciated.
Thanks! Johannes
