Hello All,

I am getting back to some woodturning after about 10 years away. There is some nice technology changes in metallurgy and grinding wheels.


There are many nice manufactures, that were nice, so I decided to spread it around between Carter and Son, Thompson, John Jorden, and D-Way for some gouges a parting tool, and a couple of skews. (There are many more great businesses, but only so much money :-( ).


I am stuck on what grits to buy for a CBN wheel. There are many wheels out there, so I thought I would support another small business and pick up a pair of 4 in 1 design from Woodturning Wonders .

I don't tend to change the geometry of my tools very much, so I was thinking of getting a 180 and a 350. My line of thought was I could hit it with the 350 and maybe not need to hone.

For those with CBN wheels already, does that plan seem reasonable? (I still have lower grits in white wheels if I need to hog something down).

Thanks
