Thread: Sourcing an 8" x 40mm 80-100 grit white wheel?

http://www.totaltools.com.au/icat/pdf.php?id=205

I know they only go up to 25mm wide, but they may be able to get one in for you.

Warburtons are out my way, not far from Hare & forbes, I could pick one up for you Ern

A pick up from Warburton's would be very kind GJ.

Add it to my tab ;-}

... and following your phone advice have asked the local Total Tools if they can get one in.

Maybe Northwood could find one - their generic 25mm wheels are pretty good

Ern most 8" wheels are 25mm we have one at 40mm width but is only 60 grit.

We have asked our supplier if they can make a finer wheel and the last reply we had was they will look into it.

We will keep nagging them.

Ern ,
how would it go do ya reckon , with two 20mm wheels on ?
If it worked as a test , maybe they could be 'glued' together with some sort of appropriate adhesive .

Ern, also make sure it has the right center dia, and rebate for your grinder fixing

Thanks guys.

Jim, yeah, think I saw one of yours at the show.

Jock, you are one shock jock!

Geez, think of what the glue would do in use or in truing? Though I spose I could keep the glue well away from the useable face. That said, the spindle's not long enough!

Neil, good point. I always assume they'll be 5/8 but I should check.

Well , if the manufacturers don't have the stones to do it .......


Aren't ceramic adhesives are used on grinding wheels ?

please dont put 2 wheels together.
about 5 or 6 years ago i turned on an old grinder that was in this building when i bought it but i had never used it.
anyway some one had put a wheel on without the paper backing disc ( old wheel or damaged i dont know ) but all i did was turn the thing on and bang , the wife came out to see what the racket was and i was just standing there with my mouth open looking kind of off white to gray colour as i looked at the hole in the iron wall 3inches from my head where a large chunk of the wheel had gone straight through at about 4 times the speed of light it is probablly still in orbit to this day.
from then on i always check grinding and or cutting wheels to make sure they have the paper clutch disc on them , it only takes a tiny crack in the wheel from not being fitted right and all hell breaks loose .
now shall i tell you about the time i was cutting a 45kg gas bottle open with the old 9 inch angle grinder , nah i'll save that story for later , that one brought the mrs up into the shed for a look too .
and there was the time with the just razor sharpened axe . i have 65 stitch scar as proof of that one
i have a dozen others but i'll save some for ron starting to hurt thinking about them

Texx after reading your reply I think I will steer very clear of you.

Are you an accident waiting to happen or an accident happening

TEXX there are products specifically for your type of person

Life and accident insurance
Income protection insurance
Sickness benefits
Workcover
sickpay

Not sure about old age pension.

Seriously i hope things improve and dont invite me over.

Then again a turnfest at Texx's could be interesting to see who was game to turn up.

Cheers

nah mate i am pretty sure i am not accident prone ( i have a bro inlaw that is though )
its just that i take risks , and i always through need have to do things on the cheap ,
i am 53 and always messed around in a workshop of some type worked manually with my hands all my life do all my own mechanical work and so on .most of the time if i need some thing i build rather than buy it
now to me the law of averages is if you work in an office and only muck about with tools part time then you are going to have less drama's and you would tend to be more careful than some one who is continually grubby and always has dirty finger nail's . complacency and in a hurry . funny though i often see accidents before they happen then decide if i'll take the chance and normally do .
anyway i'm off to fire up the chain saw see ya

Got your Kevlar chaps on??
