Using a CBN wheel for general grinding
For those of you who own a CBN wheel I have a question. Do you use it for utility grinding or do you reserve it for sharpening?
If you do use it for general grinding then how does it stand up to this type of use?
The reason I ask is because I bought one with the intention of using it for sharpening edge tools, but as things have panned out I don’t use it for sharpening. The generous flat sides and crisp corners will make a great general purpose wheel for grinding mild and hardened steel - or is that sacrilegeous.
Cheers

Hardened steel is OK but mild steel will gum/clog it up. The best tools for general purpose grinding of mild steel are sanding/linishing devices using a coarse grit belt.
Another take is that not even all hardened steels will grind all that well and that any steel that rusts easily should not be ground with CBN.
