Clean grinding. It doesn't clog as much as the gray wheels and makes quick work of sharpening my lathe chisels without heating up as much. An excellent choice for replacing your 6" grinder wheels.

Grinding wheel is great, but the universal arbor adapter is a joke. Unless you use a third party wheel balancer or glue the adapters together, it will take you quite a bit of trial and error to get the wheel to spin true. Nevertheless, the wheel itself is good and worth every penny.

Great grinding wheel took my time to align wheel before
cranking down the nut trued with a dressing wheel runs no vibration.

This is a nice even grinding wheel. I am very pleased with its performance. It runs cool and does not burn the tools as bad as others do. As a furniture builder I need sharp tools and this will help keep them in top shape.

I purchased (2) 6" grinding wheels to use sharpening my wood turning tools. One wheel was okay and the other one was out of balance. It vibrates when I use it but it does a good job of sharpening. I expected better quality control than what I received with these wheels.

I own and operate a sharpening business. Working with knives you have be extremely careful not heat up the edge, while sharpening. If I have a very bad blade I use the oxide stone to completely re-dress a new edge. What I have found is that the stone, when used carfully, does not heat up the knife edge and allows me to put out a better product.

I can always use a good grinding wheel. This one is nice and shiny and will be put to good use. Now that I know Rockler has these, I have my source for reordering in the future.

I have used the normal grey grinding stones for may years and wanted to give stone a try. Looking over the stone I can quickly was about to tell that it needed dressing before use. This stone is SOFT and found that my washer type wheel dress was useless on this stone. I was not able to square it up. I kept making grooves on the wheel surface. I have gone out and bought a "T" shape diamond dresser which did the job well. The stone cuts fast and smooth but will burn the steel in a heart beat so be careful. The only down side of this stone is that it makes a mess. Lots of white powder everywhere. Get a your self a T shape diamond dress wheel dresser to keep the stone true.

I agree with one of the previous posts in that these White Alum. Oxide wheels are far better than the wheels that traditionally come on your grinder. I have the 100 grit and 150 grit wheels. They work really good for sharpening my turning tools and the tools don't heat up nearly as fast as with the grey wheels.

My wheel was terribly out of balance. When I attached the wheel and turned on my 8" ginder, it vibrated horribly and bounced around on my bench (something not done with any other wheels I have had).

Exactly as I expected it, no surprises. They're not GREAT wheels, but they're GOOD wheels - far and away better than the grey ones that usually ship with a grinder. This was a coarse stone, to be used for rough shaping - I keep a good pink (next time I'll try the blue) 120-grit stone on the other side for actual sharpening. As always, it took a minute or two to get it to run true on my grinder.

Wheel was terribly out of balance. When I attached the wheel and turned on my 8" ginder, it vibrated horribly. Could not come close to balance with oneway wheel balancing.

Having used these before I find them quite good. However I don't like the multi-arbor as it is too loose.

I have used a 6 inch grinder with the normal grey stones for the last 35 years, and wanted to try a stone with a finer grit, for a smoother edge. I bought both a 100 and 150 grit in the six inch size.
I put the 100 grit on, and was thoroughly disgusted. The stone melted away from the edge I was trying to sharpen like cotton candy with water sprayed on it.
I won't be buying any more of these.
