CBN wheel - replace, used and WOW!
Jim of Carrolls just sent me a new 180 CBN wheel. Arrived this morning, put it straight on, grabbed the Sorby rough gouge and bowl gouge, put it on the TruGrind....did the trick of using a black Sharpie Pen on the surface.....measured it all to ensure the angles were right....
Aaannnndddd....
Wow! What a brilliant setup. Ive always struggled with the last CBN. It was just a touch oblate and it rang like a bell, control was hard and I ended sending it back to Carrolls for a swap....in the meantime I ordered another 180 and a right sided TruGrind to give me a left/right setup....well, just the new 180 CBN has made a GALACTIC difference.
It is smooth, easy to use, it's highly predictable and did an absolutely wonderful job sharpening those two chisels.
I am ABSOLUTELY CHUFFED!
Buy one, just do it.Last edited by Evanism; 13th February 2014 at 06:45 PM. Reason: Spillengg mistorks

"The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot.. it can't be done.
If you deal with the lowest bidder it is well to add something for the risk you run.
And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better"
