looks like d-way has a 10" cbn wheel for tormeks. Any one tried one?

Keith, welcome to the forum. I don't recall reading about any forum members using CBN wheels. We are still enjoying being in the stone age, although some of us acknowledge privately that there is a possibility that world might be round.

You might get a different answer in five years.

thanks Ken, Upon thinking about it the only advantages I can see are constant wheel diameter and no dressing of the wheel. All that said I like the edges I get from the stones.

I think several of us would love to try one, but for what it is, at that price, I view it as a lifetime SJ stone.  Designed for touchups, but not for grinding out big nicks or damaged chunks. (take way too long)

Yeah you know Tormek have reached sharpening nirvana when you get a prosthetic hand as part of the standard package :/)
