Mike, just a suggestion, I have cbn wheels and since they are so heavy i always give them a little spin before i turn on the motor in hopes of prolonging motor life. Just a little spin is a major help for the motor to get those heavy wheels spinning.

Hey Mike! Thanks for doing this video! Although now 9 years old it’s still abs relevant! So much so that I have the exact same grinder and looking for the exact same wheels and spacers kit. Do you remember where you got the adapter and spacers on the website? I want to make sure I get the same for mine.

Hi Mike. Bought a lathe at the beginning of lockdown and you have been my online tutor. I need a CBN . My old grinder will hold a 6" wheel with a 1/2" bore, I cannot find a wheel to fit. Any ideas or guidance is very much appreciated. Regards. Wendy

Do you think it would be possible to hook up a VFD to the grinder and use the 1000 grit CBN wheel along with a slotted paper wheel on the other end, possibly adding a foot control as well?

I am finding it very hard to find all the right elements (8 inch, 120 grit) to fit a record power in the UK. Do you have any links as to where you picked your things up from? Do you think it would balance ok with a white stone on the other end as I cannot afford two cbn wheels. Thanks for the video - very helpful.

Hi Mike, was wondering if you can help. I'm looking at getting a 6inch or 8inch record power grinder but cant find a straight answer to which size one is better for sharpening turning chisels. The only consideration I can find is I cant find any 200mm cbn wheels on Amazon UK (not that I no if I will buy them yet). Any advice would be appreciated Many thanks

Hi Mike! What he means is often to find with chopsaws, maybe because it's more dangerous to let them run compared to a grinding wheel. It's actually a switch, that would let turn the wheels the other way round, and if you press it while the wheel ist ending, it causes a slowing down. Got it? Cheers wolfgang

As a former Process Engineer, my job was to determine how to get the most Bang for the Buck. My DYI quick change grinder from 1980 is belt driven and I have set the speed to 1300 RPM. This speed works great for myself. My wheels are mounted on a precision arbor and I can change a wheel in 10 seconds. With only one wheel mounted, the speed up and and turn off time is less than 15 seconds. I see no reason for the start up and stop time to be 100 times greater than the grind time. In the future my plan is to build my version of a quick change Tormek style water grinder. This design will accommodate wheels from 10" to 3". I expect the change over to be less than 30 seconds.

Daniel Vilarino Thanks Daniel. You don't need to have the guards in place as there is no chance of CBN wheels shattering, as they are solid steel. You still have to be mindful while they are spinning down not to touch them :). in the US there are many suppliers as you know, the only thing you must check is the size of your grinders spindle, and ensure you get a solid Aluminium or similar bushing and washer to fit. Let me know how you get on, when you take the plunge. Take care my friend Mike

High Mike, I have been using these wheels for three or four years now and wouldn't be without one. I have one especially made to fit my wetstone grinder it will fit either the tormek or the sheppach. Avail from Carrols Woodcraft Supplies Australia. I have also fitted one to my variable speed bench grinder and as you say" go easy" on the pressure of the tool against the wheel as it will remove a lot of metal, on the slower wet stone it is a bit less vigorous.

Hi Mike, wee question bro... how do you set up the angles on the one way tool rests before you sharpen?? do you use something like the Raptor angle sets?? it's the only drawback i see in that set up compared to a sorby pro edge ... although i have a new 2 inch roughing gouge and near impossible to get it sharpened exactly on pro edge... your thoughts and wisdom, especially on the 2 inch is very welcome brov.... R.
@MikeWaldt
@MikeWaldt 5 жыл бұрын
Hi Rodney, once I set the leg angle to my liking ... many years ago ... i never change it for any of my gouges. To ensure repeatability I made a few wood "stops" of the length needed to have the basket at the exact position needed for each type of tool. Also I don't have to worry about reducing wheel diameter as the CBNs don't wear down. As far as your 2" SRG, simply extend the basket as needed to allow the bevel to fully ride the wheel, marking with a sharpie is a great way to check where micro adjustment is needed, and away you go :) Hope this answers your questions. Cheers Mike

Okay Mike, I think I am on the correct video now... There is at least 1 'cleaning' stick for these wheels on the market. It is aluminum oxide, similar to but harder than the white grinding wheels. If you should happen to load up your CBN wheels by grinding the softer/non hardened steels on them, this stuff will clean it up fairly well. It does send up a lot of white dust though. I used one on my wheels which seem to be almost black from all the sludge from my sloppy wet wood I turn. It didn't effect the cutting ability of the wheels at all. It did make them look a lot cleaner though. Thanks for the plug Mike.

Again, a great video MIke and I learned alot of info from it! Thanks sooo much! One question though, did you mention that the CBN wheels are NOT to be used to sharpen 'Carbide Tools'? What about the replaceable carbide cutters that we use for turning, planers, etc. (i.e.; small rectangular, round, triangular tips...) that we many wood turners use vice regular spindle/bowl guages? Since I use both, I was hoping that the CBN wheels would also sharpen those replaceable tips also... Again, thanks so much for all you do and your wonderful videos!

Hi Mike and many thanks for the review, it's very topical in turning right now so spot on. I'm doing some research for members new to our turning club where we're going to run a practical workshop to help get them setup with sharpening using a dry grinder. I note in your presentation you opted for the RP 8" model after you yourself had researched the choices. Can I ask you to specify what it was about that particular grinder that made you choose it please? My intention in running this workshop is to recommend a total solution to our members and I want to be able to justify the proposed grinder. So your perspective on why you chose it would be helpful.

Hi Mike. Only just started looking at sharpening clips hence the late comment. 1. I notice that you, and others, are running your CBN wheels unguarded. Do you consider this totally safe? 2. I am thinking of running my grinder with a 40mm aluminium oxide wheel one end and a CBN the other - so I can 'cut' carbon and HS steel. Any thoughts? Thanks again for your very informative presentations. Best wishes, Philip.
@MikeWaldt

Hi Philip, I have since changed grinder and do have partial guards on as they had to be cut to accommodate my sharpening system, and I kept them to trap some of the "swarf". But in answer to your first question - I personally feel it is safe to run CBNs without guards, as they are not going to shatter. However if you keep one aluminium oxide wheel, a guard should be in place on that one, as they rarely do, but can chip and shatter. As far as running both on one machine, I see no problem with that at all. Let me know what you end up doing. Cheers Mike

Hi Mike. Many thanks for your thoughts on guarding grinding wheels. Have to admit I do not favour unguarded rotations machinery, but agree your comments on leaving the CBN wheel unguarded and the necessity for guarding a 'stone' wheel. With careful alignment I have managed to put my 40mm stone on the righthand side of the grinder (designed for a 25mm wheel) but am thinking it would probably be better to swap the CBN and stone wheels to ensure better clearances. Having already heavily modified the guards I now need to get another rest for use with the stone and am looking at the Sorby unit. I am trying the Woodcut jig on the CBN wheel. Again, my thanks for your assistance.

Mike, Great review with very useful background materials! I have been using my CBN wheel (I only bought the 120 grit) for over a year now and I am very satisfied. I find that I have not been eager to buy the second wheel since my 6 inch grinder seems fairly well balanced with an aluminum oxide wheel on the other side. Also, that grit seems to be perfect for most everything I do. The disadvantage is that the 6 inch wheel does put a more concave grind on my gouges and probably eats up more metal as a result. My wheel is also from D-Way and was quite reasonable in price compared to the 8 inch wheel. One thing you might have pointed out is that the new set up you have is fairly pricey. I don't know what the current exchange rate is (pounds sterling to dollars) but a new grinder and two wheels would be about $500-600 in the States. I have also found that a light touch is a good approach. It makes sharpening more accurate and avoids grinding off more metal than necessary. You do get a very fine metal dust beneath the wheel as a result of sharpening. I vacuum it up to avoid spreading it into the air. There are other shapes to the CBN wheels (round shoulders versus flat) and finishes (no plating/CBN grit on the sides of the wheel). Not sure what the relative trade-offs are since they weren't known to me at the time I bought. Thanks for another in a long line of very professional and useful videos. Please keep up the effort. I appreciate it and I know there are many others who do as well. I also appreciate your candor and honesty of approach. It is great to know that there are no underlying motives other than sharing your experience. Sheldon

+Brian Stapely Hi Brian, and a massive LOL!!!!! The main reason for getting another Record Power, was the budget, and touch wood it's holding up. If however it fails I will have to buy one with more grunt. I would love to hear what you think of the lathe when you've had time to use it a bit....and send my apologies to your wife and kids, and the dog!!!! Also thanks for your kind words at the end :) Take care Mike

Hey Mike had a question and think it might have been a typo but yes i agree they dont do well with carbide but the carbon steel ?? not sure what you were getting at here all steel has carbon and good steel has more carbon plus other things just not sure what you were meaning or if that is what you were meaning, they are made for carbon steels.. unless this is one of those lost in translation or lost in memory moments LOL cheers Mate

+meocats Hi and thanks for the input. I was told a while ago that 180 grit or 240 grit CBN are too coarse for carbide cutters, that's why I suggest not to use them. I have always honed them with a 600 grit diamond hone, as the carbide could clog the wheel. But, I am not saying you are wrong, especially if you do it in a professional capacity with obvious success. Thank you for giving me food for thought. As a matter of interest, what grit of wheel do you use for your carbide, thanks in advance. Cheers Mike

This CBN video was very helpful, and the specs of the available wheels which you described are not readily available in North America, from my research ... in particular, the 1 1/2" surface ... however, The ToolPost went out of business in September 2020 (surprising given that all of their customers would have been trapped inside ... maybe health issues with the proprietors?) ... their website links on to a follow-on site for products, but it's a pen turners site and they don't seem to carry the wheels ... was there an underlying brand on those wheels that you could point me to? (dangling participle only one of many things that sag with age!) ...Thanks, your humble subscriber, Farmer John, Ontario, Canada

Hello Mike! It looks like you got your self a good grinding system there but i have to recommend the Tormek system to you and all other wood turners, I got the Tormek T4 a few months ago even before I started wood turning myself (been doing it for about 1 week now :) and i just love it) The Tormek system has all the jigs you can ask for and works like a dream for almost all cutting edge tools, when using the leather honing wheel after shapening you will get an edge that shines like a mirror belive me at first I was stunned by the results on all my tools and I have been sharpening tools for ages and never got it that good before. The only backside of it is that it´s a bit pricy, the T4 i got costs about 250 pounds and their flagship the T7 about 450 pounds excluding all the jigs that comes on the side, but the jigs are not to expensive. I do recommend this system not just because I´m form sweden myself (wich the Tormek is too) but because i´m so pleased with it. Ok Mike keep sharp and keep turning safe! /Tom
