What size do you need. |

robo hippy | The type we use, that is an electroplated wheel: a steel core is plated with CBN in a nickel matrix, just a single layer, like chrome plated items. they last very long and stay flat during life time. They also cut better. It is much the same process as you have it on the EZE lap |

What size do you need. | I will get back to you on that, but for memory, such as it is, the 150mm is 12.7mm (1/2").

I bought one. Fist impressions: good. Well balanced and takes steel of quickly.

Good to hear that Brendan! Unless I hear anything really negative it will be my next purchase.

| | Mine has arrived
Quite heavy 8" wheel - nicely machined - certainly looks the part! I'll look forward to setting it up & giving it a run shortly.
Very prompt delivery Jim - many thanks!

Jim,
Thanks for the link to the Manufacturer. I e-mailed them, and they are distributing in the US. They don't have 8 inch wheels in stock over here yet, but will soon. They will also be in San Jose this summer for the AAW Symposium. I do think they need a coarse grit wheel.
I asked about 3/4 inch bored wheels, and was told that they were going to do a 1 1/4 inch arbor with bushings with a flange on one side to make them run more true.
More Toys!!!!!!
