I'm looking to sharpen A2 and PM-V11 irons and chisels, primarily bevel resetting. I've found the SG stone a bit too slow in this department, and was investigating alternatives, including CBN wheels (given that the diamond wheels are not out yet)
How fast will a low-grit CBN cut compared to a SG? I'm between this and switching to a low speed grinder with a CBN for A2 bevel resetting so my time at the wheel isn't too long. What do you guys think? The general opinion might be to just go with the low-speed, but I'm fairly invested in the Tormek, like using it, and have an irrational fear (more or less) on drawing out temper.
Thanks in advance!
