I recently got my first cbn wheel. it is 180 grit. It really takes the metal off. I think I would go with a higher number next time for turning tools if I was only getting one. Not sure if it mellows out after a bit.

On sharpening gouges and other sharp turning tools, do most people just go to the grinding wheel each time and that is it? In my case the new 180 CBN. Or 1) do you do some finishing afterwards? Do you touch up the sharpness by some other method before going to the wheel? Thanks

searches on the forum - I had only see the search box at the top of the page (that takes you to google). Just noticed the little search drop down in the upper middle right of the page - that should be more useful.
