Rock hard felt wheel supplier

[Sharpski]

I ordered one wheel from durofelt over a year ago and wanted wanted to order another one. When I went to their website it was no longer working.

Has anyone found a similar product with good results?

Thank you

I found this one on Amazon.  I haven't tried it myself so I can't vouch for the quality.

The second dimension listed (45mm) is correct forthe felt wheel Vadim sold. The original felt wheels he ordered were 50mm thick. This did not allow for the inset in the outside of the wheel. I ordered on of the first felt wheels he sold. To Vadim's credit, once he realized the mistake in size, he reordered the correct size.

Thanks for the info, I Will contact them to see if there is any flexibility on the minimum quantity for order.

Have you ordered from them in the past? What is shipping time and price like?

I purchased one felt wheel in December 2022 and one in March 2023. Price was US$ 75 plus US$ 25 air shipping plus import duties. The wheels arrived two or three weeks after prepayment.

Only use solutions of diamonds in alcohol as water based solutions will change the properties of the felt.

I like these wheels and I get good results!

Thanks! Does anyone have a recommendation on a shaft extension to put these wheels on the honing side, similar to what Vadim used?

I believe you can also use the shaft extension that comes with the Tormek profiled leather wheels, if you happen to have one of those.
