Hi,
I am in the process of setting up a grinder and jigs for sharpening lathe tools. I'd like to get a set of CBN wheels (which are expensive). But I figure the cost is worth it if I don't need to buy a new grinder. The trouble is I don't have an 8" grinder. I have a 6" 3200 rpm grinder. I also have an old walker turner double arbor belt driven set-up where I could attach a 1700 rpm motor.
2 main questions:
1. Is an 8" wheel "better" than a 6" if you're using CBN (which does not wear like a standard abrasive wheel)?
2. Is 3200 rpm OK or am I still better to have the 1700 rpm variety.
Thanks,
Christian
