Apologies if this has been asked before but why do Tormek supply Diamond rather than CBN wheels for their grinders and are they used wet or dry?

Håkan Persson is a recognized expert in "superabrasives" which includes both diamonds and CBN.Diamond wheels are best used with ACC solution, although they may also be used dry.

But using them dry will reduce their life.
