I've acquired a Dumore Series 44 and am wondering what the collective wisdom is regarding the suitability of this wheel for face grinding.
The 44 is rated for up to 3" wheels, and that's the size of this wheel. The wheel is rated for 12,000 rpm and Dumore recommends 6,600 rpm for 3" wheels per the motor placard, so the wheel should be fine speed wise. I got the wheel for free, so it might be worth a try, just need to make a suitable bushing first. However, I don't want to go through the trouble of making the bushing if this wheel is not suitable for reasons not obvious to me.
I realize that this wheel is not made specifically for face grinding on a TPG, so what are the thoughts from those of you that know more about this?
Thanks!
Jake
