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)
