Just want to say, Ken is a great Man. He, and others have helped me purchase quality items. Tanks Ken.
Excellent Video Ken…
You have been so very helpful in helping me choose my wheel and the accessories to make all this work.
The one thing I would love to see is a comparison of the finish from say a 180 grit wheel and a 600 grit wheel…. It’s just not something I have any reference to.
I use my grinder to set primary bevels on wood working Chisels and hand plane blades.
I have the 180 600 set up after e-mailing you - your advice is spot on for the combo - 180 to 600 sounds like a big grit jump but after small reshaping I only need the 600 for refreshing - the CBN material makes it fast - bowl gouge I run from one side to the other and back with a very light touch and I am all set and dangerously sharp - thanks Ken
You should have a reseller in Europe,lots of hobbyists here..
Thanks for the video. I get a lot of questions and I will be referencing the video. Still enjoying my wheels and grinder. One of the best investments for my woodturning shop. I sharpen often and sometimes the 1 HP Rikon grinder with two CBN wheels (4-in-1 on one side and Mega Square on other side) is still coasting down when I go back for that resharpen for a final cut. The grinder and wheels are so well balanced it seems like it will coast forever.
Spot-on info with a great explanation on the various choices one might be faced with for their particular situation.
Happily watching my mailbox for my Worksharp set of wheels.
Excellent presentation! Iwill be in touch soon. I subscribed!
Ken, I recently bought a used Tormek Supergrind 2000 and looking to use it for sharpening knifes primarily. Would you please reach out to Tormek owners for a review of your Tornato and spartan wheels for knife and plane blade sharpening. I love the idea of not using water, but not sure on grit(s) to buy. I have not seen on CZcams any of your CBN wheels for Tormek being used with out water. I have your cbn wheels for my low speed grinder for turning tools and love them.
Nice job , Ken.
Hi Ken --As anyone ever experimented ( or do you know)
if those type of wheels are useful for lapidary work?
My hobby is polishing stone for jewelry … mostly
The 80 grit Spartan seems like it would be a good wheel
for the initial shaping & rough doming of the stone.
The hardest stones are mostly a 7 on the mohs scale.
Jaspers and agates ect…
A difficult question--- but maybe you have some insight?
Thanks
I am looking at a cbn wheel after spending hours on a 500 shapton with resetting primary bevel on my plane blade (pmv-11). I am looking at the mega wheel possibly and mainly will be chisels and plane blades. I have water stones of 1000 up to 16000 and I want to be able to go from setting the primary bevel from the cbn wheel to the 500 or 1000 grit and was wondering if I should get a higher grit than 80 because it would defeat the purpose if the 80 left me a lot of time back on the water stones. I have already decided on the 1/2 rikon just need some tips on the wheel grits because they ain't cheap but worth it the investment.
Do you make the concave and convex washers for table saws to tru up a blade. ?
Thanks 😊
I have a question for you.
My brother out-law is rebuilding a "Forney" reel sharpening machine, for the golf course where he works at, and it uses the typical grey and pink grinding wheels to sharpen the reel blades and the bed knives.
Would you recommend a CBN wheel to do the job?
I just got a WEN variable speed grinder. What would be an ideal grit to start for knife sharpening and sharpening garden tools?
Great informative video! Do you think the Spartan wheel combo (180/600) would
be good (enough) for my turning tools and wood chisels? I am a beginner turner.
Should I be concerned about the "only 1 inch thick" part?
I use a 120 and a 600 as a medium skill turner, and have never felt the wheels are the limit to how well I can sharpen. A wider wheel is nice if you are using larger tools (3/4" gouges, 1 1/2" skews, things like that), but generally the stone wheels you'll be replacing at 1" thick, so it should feel pretty natural.
Should be great for your flat grinds, woodworking tools. I can't answer for a wood Turner or wood turning tools. Sorry
I went with 180/600 1” wide also. They’re not narrow. They’re the width of the stone wheels that were there. You just have to swing your gouges carefully to keep them in the 1”. That’s not hard.
Thanks for the information. How do we get them in The UK? Do you ship here or use a distributor? Thanks
Ken, do you have a instructional video showing how to utilize all four functions of the 4 in 1 wheel? I purchased one and I am unsure what the four function it are.
I called the other day and Ken himself answered the phone seems like a great guy told me upfront that I will have to wait for delivery because of his supplier
Can you use the 6" square edge wheel on a planer blade sharpener in a horizontal position?
Great conten, Ken. It should answer a lot of common questions and I know I will be referring some of my viewers to it.
Will a mega wheel (1.5”) fit on a 1/2 hp Rikon slow speed grinder?
Another question: why would the Tornado wheels corrode in water if they are made from aluminum, CBN, and nickel? None of those materials will rust.
wil a tornado Shell fit a wnen grinder and can you use it whet
I am interested in the two 6in. wheels you recommend: the 4in1 180 grit and the 600grit 1.5 wide wheel.
Do you have a site for ordering and what are the prices for those two wheels?

Hi Ken! Greetings from Brazil! How much would shipping be to Brazil for one 6” CBN wheel?
Using a CBN wheel for a Tormek is there any advantage or disadvantage to still use water?
Another CBN wheel manufacturer claims that his company's wheels should only be used with very wear resistant steels. Otherwise they will become permanently and irreparably clogged? Can that be true? Can your wheels be used to sharpen a high volume of ordinary kitchen knives without issue?
Also, you mentioned recommended grits for woodworking tools, but not for knives. What two grits would you recommend for a knife grinding business running the wheels on Tormeks?
Thanks!
Interesting system but am wondering if i can get the complete package (1hp RIKON) with 220v system? Also please let me know if you guys can include the tormek fixture to the package in discounted price to avoid getting it separately?
@@WoodturnersWonders I live in Kuwait 🇰🇼 so I just sent you an email and your shop manager Karen Schlawin have confirmed that you are only carrying the 110v/115v units so I went for JET IBG-8VS grinder.. But now am wondering if the 1hp RIKON base will fit my JET grinder even if a minor modification are required.. I already sent him an email with some other questions about the washers needed to fit the CBN wheels on that grinder and am waiting for his reply.
Hey Ken. Great video - thanks. I can’t find the article you mentioned on your website. Will you please provide a link? Thanks Again.
The article you mentioned was “Modern Tool Steels and Grinders,” by Tom Wirsing, but I’d be interested in reading the carbide insert sharpening article as well.
@@WoodturnersWonders Thanks, Ken. You’ll see my order the Radius Edge 180/4-in-1 600 after the new year.
Also, you can thank James Harrison for the referral.
What are your take on cbn belts?
Do you have an agent i in Australia?
I want CBN wheels so bad
I currently have a CBN wheel which I inherited with no documentation. My guess is that it is 80 grit. Can I get a second wheel at 600 grit or is that too big a jump and I should instead get a 350 grit?
@@WoodturnersWonders Thanks!
this was a super helpful question thankyou!
