Title: Diamond spray
Post by: BUTCHER on January 07, 2024, 04:31:52 AM
Does anyone know of a good supplier for the .25 micron poly diamond spray for the leather wheel, and the 1 micron monocrystaline diamond spray for the felt wheel? they seem to not be available in alchahol based forms.
Also looking for a cbn wheel supplier in North America as my SG wheel is getting fairly small.

North American suppliers of CBN wheels would be woodturnerswonders.com. Amazon has them from a Chinese supplier but price and shipping may not be optimal.

Best bang for your buck alcohol diamond spray suppliers I have found is schleifjunkies.com. Shipping is costly to NA, so it's best to bundle with other supplies you might need such as the CBN wheels.

Thanks for the reply.
It says on the Wood turners website that the wheels are not designed for use with water unless dried off completely right away.
Are all CBN wheels like this and has anyone tried these?

Probably because they contain steel. You could use anti corrosive additive of course.
