Woody,
I can't seem to find any 1" hole/arbor blades in the 10".
Also, I keep looking and I can not find that chart with the grit stats that you were talking about.

Just "saw" this (hehe I'm funny) - this is awesome! Thanks for sharing. I may see about finding an old wet grinder I can convert!

Robin:
My camera does videos, but I do not know how. I will try to figure it out., and do a video. These saw blades are forty grit, so they just eat rock, and after all the use I have given it the blades show no appreciable wear. Sure saves the rough grinding wheel. BTW...it is not as pretty now.

why did you use 10" blades instead of something smaller? smaller is cheaper......
harbor freight has mansory blades 4" for $6 but everyone is talking about using much larger blades, is there a reason? thanks.

Kevin: The blade size was determined by my arbor shaft diameter, the amount of diamond, and the diamond hardness. Here is the Super grinder now..just went down, and shot this. You can see that most of the diamond is still there after roughing out a great many preforms  7/20/2017 ADMIN edit: repaired broken PB photo |

I made a supergrinder from a stack of 7" tile blades. I had to bore them out to 1", luckily I have a machinist friend who did that for me. I got them on eBay over a year ago for about $3 each including shipping. Our club bought over 100 so we could all make supergrinders. Just a month ago I got my 60 grit sintered wheel. It's not as aggressive as the supergrinder, but I like it better in some ways. It doesn't chip very much & it leaves a smoother surface. Of course it cost 4 times as much - $215 shipped from China. It has 5mm of diamond compared to the $435 Inland with 3mm. Supergrinder  Sintered ![]() www.playzar.com/rthphotos/Sintered 60.jpg[/img] Lynn |
