Do you mean MB-102 (new model with FVB function) rather than the original MB-100 (without FVB)?

Noted Rich: TTS-100 on order. Cost of my board? Nil. Cost of a 3D printer? No contest.

Did you have success using the (eight inch diameter) 46 or 80 grit Norton 3X wheels (wet) or the (ten inch diameter) 46 grit wheel (also used wet) with the DBS-22? Granted, they are not as fast as a high speed dry grinder; however they do not produce loose grinding dust to ruin your jig.

You should sent your question to support (support@tormek.se).
One question I have is about the choice of grinding wheels. This seems like a good use for CBN wheels. Diamond and CBN wheels run cooler than conventional wheels. I mention CBN because they are available in 80 grit. As a general rule, coarser wheels run cooler than conventional wheels.
On the plus side for diamond wheels, they are built on steel frames. There are some CBN wheels with steel frames.

but I don't see the 'ease of use' for this distance preprogrammed into TormekCalc, am I missing this somewhere or are you using different software?
...
"T-USB" is the measurement directly to the wheel in TormekCalc (in the column under the wheel size)...

Quote from: Ken S on February 25, 2024, 08:06:05 PMDrill bits remind me of the old John Wayne movie title, "They Were Expendable". As a career telephone man, I worked with drill bits all the time, and, like most of us, frequently abused them. I suspect that abuse is why they seem to need more frequent sharpening and wear down quickly.

Quote from: RichColvin on February 25, 2024, 04:45:24 PMI may be wrong, but it seems to me that bits which are much shorter (e.g., ΒΌ" shorter) are not as hard as they were before grinding off that material. At least they need to be resharpened more often.
