Add CBN wheel to left side of T-8

[GbuserTX]

Hello! I thought it would be clever to add a CBN wheel to the left side of my T-8 in a coarser grit for grinding alongside a DF-250 diamond wheel on the right. Made sense to me since the CBN doesn't want a water bath.
Unfortunately, the 12mm arbor isn't long enough to mount the CBN wheel and none of the places I visit have a solution.
Anybody know of a way to make it work? Longer arbor? Arbor extension? Reference to actual suppliers would be greatly appreciated!

Not quite the case. Neither the diamond nor CBN *need* water lubrication they both benefit from water.

This may be a good place to start

Those of us who follow my posts may realize that I generally lean toward Tormek products and technique. However, I try to remain open minded. I was an early convert to Herman's Homemade Small Platform. I purchased my first Frontal Vertical Base from Wootz (KnifeGrinders) long before Tormek introduced the MB-102

I have never liked using dry wheels on a T8.

I think we have two issues here:
    1) The use of a second grinding wheel on a Tormek
    2) The use of that wheel dry.

I have no problem with Slipakniven. I purchased several items from Slipakniven and have no complaints about their service or the quality of their products. For anyone wishing to use a second wheel, I would recommend also purchasing their threaded nut and plastic extra tray and mount. I would not use any wheel dry with a T8 and recommend using ACC.

Thanks for the great advice. I took it all and went with the expender and water tray from SlipaKniven. Sadly not a very economical approach as the 100% tariff added $99 to the purchase...
