Title: Why Diamond?
Post by: Alston on April 15, 2025, 11:41:08 AM
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.
