These wheels will change the way you sharpen forever – Think razor sharp edges.

CBN or Cubic Boron Nitride grinding wheels are electroplated and nickel coated. Why? Electroplating offers many advantages over other applications. It creates a more aggressive bond over other applications and will hold a form longer. It also performs a higher stock removal rate and will last for years. They are designed for sharpening high speed steels only and should not be used for other applications. These wheels have a 1.5" face so they are easy to use. The 180-grit wheel puts almost a mirror finish on your edges and makes them "scary sharp."

The 80-grit wheel whips your tools into the profile you want and you can even finish grind your tools with it as well as raise a burr for your scrapers. A unique feature of this wheel is the 1/4" radius on the left and right side of the wheel. The radius makes it easy to grind small 1/4" hollowing bits and round scrapers. This eliminates the problem of having to rotate a tool by the handle (in the case of scrapers) and end up over-grinding the tip. This is a very handy feature, and you can hold the small bits and not burn your fingers. You won't find a better wheel at these incredible prices. Money back guarantee.

Disclaimer:
Please be advised that due to the width of these wheels in most cases the guards on your grinder will have to be removed. As long as the wheels are properly used as intended this should not cause a problem as they are machined from one solid piece of 6061 aluminum.
