In France, I couldn't find those aside from Amazon, priced at a modest EUR 200. The BDX line of wheels is more widely available and more reasonably priced. Does anyone know how they compare to the 3X ?
I think just about any standard grinding wheel, in the 64-80 grit range will do about the same. I was gifted the 8" Norton wheels that I first used in this manner, which were great. Then I was gifted a no-name/don't even know the grit 10" grinding wheel. It works every bit as good as the Norton and I much prefer the 10" diameter as it is more similar to others on my T8.
These standard grinding wheels are trued just like any the SG or SB wheels using the Tormek Truing Tool. An excellent choice for anyone wanting faster metal removal.
