    When you cast metal, you are left with a very rough surface, and with a part that's not dimensionally accurate.

    When firing a heat they make one hell of a sound. I've witnessed it several times in person, and nothing I've ever heard comes close.

    I'd echo what Reed said, CBN turning inserts (for metal working) are recommended for materials over 45 HRC. High carbon steels like 1085 & 1095, are well over that in their hardened state.

    Thanks for the update, I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on one for my new grinder, and it's good to hear that it's still flat.

    Derek,

    Any chance you can give us an update? How is the flat wheel doing at grinding chisel and plane blades 9 months later, are they still nice ant strait?

    Brass isn't cheap, and the tite-mark looks to be a one piece head turned out of solid bar stock, so it looks like he is spending a lot more on material than he needs to. The LV gauge is a two piece...
