They have a website as well as selling on Amazon.

We have three of their 6" x 1" diamond wheels for our little saw/grinder combo machine. They are the definition of you get what you pay for. One is pretty good, one is a bit wobbly and the third is (spazface)

. No experience with any of their other offerings. The wheels are okay for what we have used them for but two of the three wheels would be useless if you were trying to produce nice cabs, etc.

I found the cheaper wheels are just press fit rings of steel, plated with diamond, and pushed over the plastic hub. So if the wobble is side to side. You can adjust

I don't need the precision required for cabochons so I'll see how they do for face polishing.

Know what you are saying but these are out of round. Have tried different bushings and put them on my shop bench grinder which runs as true as can be.

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
