thanks for the link Twinn

I sharpen mostly with the 180 grit although I do prefer the 80 grit for scrapers. If only one, get the 180.

They are both very aggressive when new but break in quickly.

This is where I got mine also. I got the 180 grit and kept the original 40 grit stone that came with the Grizzly grinder.

As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

The two main sources are D Way and Woodturningwonders. Dave at D Way was the first person that I know of to start selling them to woodturners. Ken Rizza came along after. Ken does have aluminum hubbed wheels, which are lighter than the steel ones that Dave has. I use the 80 grit mostly for my scrapers, and the 180 for everything else, though some times I use the 180 for scrapers as well. Not sure which one gives the best burr. Just about every one prefers the 1 1/2 inch wide wheels. I have never had my gouges wander off the edge of one of them.
