I would like some advice please on which type of abrasive wheel to go for for my next project (tool/cutter grinder) either Diamond or Alox.

I’m aware that some diamond wheels may have the diamonds plated on rather than bonded (the preferred option)

I would like to know more about the durability of these wheel types albeit for home workshop use only.

I’m also assuming that the wheel would be Cup or Flared Cupand about 4″-6″ dia.

Finally my pockets are not infinitely deep.

All of my existing HSS tools for metal working and wood working are sharpened on a bench grinder with a Ruby Alox wheel obtained from Peter Child’s many moons ago.
