Grinding wheel advice

[merlinParticipant @merlin98989]

I am having difficulty in finding a fine grit wheel for my 3000rpm bench grinder. I want to get a fine finish on HSS lathe tools so I guess I need an 80 grit, 125 x 16 (or a bit more) wide and to fit a 13mm shaft.

Does anyone know of a supplier?

Thanks

Hi There

You don't necessarily need a 13mm bore.

You could fit standard plastic washers to reduce the bore.

A 60 or 80 grit should do.

Something similar to an A60K5V would do.

Your local engineers' suppliers should be able to get you one and the washers.

Hi Merlin,
You could try Abtec Stores They seem to have a good range of grinding wheels. They also sell on Ebay. I have only bought two grinding wheels from them. They have been in use now for a couple of years with no problems.

Les.
