I really like that wheel for everything form coarse to fine. It is a bader wheel it runs dead true and I like the serrations.
I mainly use ceramic belts of one flavor or another. I have some with structured abrasive like the trizcat belts. I have not tried a great variety of belts, but I find ceramic abrasives to be worth the money.

A clean, elegantly simple design. Very well done Charlie. :tu
Looks awesome.
Where did you get the wheels and bearings?
I bought the Bader 8" wheel from Jantz knife supply.
I bought the remainder of the contact wheels 2"-6" from USA Knife Maker.
The tracking and drive wheels are self made. I purchased the bearings and pillow blocks locally at Purvis Bearing Supply, they are a chain of stores in the states. In the past I have bought bearings from Enco and off of Ebay.
If I had deeper pockets I would have bought all Bader wheels.

I had to make a video of the grinder before it gets dirty. It will never be this clean again.

Charlie,
Very impressive!! Cudo's. Thanks for all the pics and play by play, really enjoyed following along.
Also, didn't NASA just land one of those on Mars. For $Xxx Billions.

I like your video Charlie. I like the way that your bearings are spread out on the rear shaft. I have a no weld grinder very similar to this and one of the things that I have questioned is how close the bearings are on the shaft. room for lots of flex.
Nice job!
