    Default Sourcing A Narrow Profiling Grinding Wheel

    I am looking to grind in cannel gouges.

    So I am looking for a supplier of a 6" (150mm) a Narrow (12mm) Profiling Grinding Wheel.

    Does anyone have a source/supplier for something like this?

    Hi TS. I had some success using a dressing stick to "profile" a grinding disc. My 12mm white wheel now has an asymmetrical round over which helps with sharpening moulding plane blades.

    Not sure if this helps, but an interesting tip from Matt Cremona what I thought ingenious.

    I managed to secure a 12mm wide 60grit zirconia stone from workmate.


    However I just tried to install the stone and realised something silly now that the stone is a whole 13mm narrower then the standard stone the nut does not reach the flange.


    How do I make up this increased distance on the arbor?


    Do I need something like this 316 Stainless Steel Unthreaded Spacers


    McMaster-Carr

    Or could I just pack it up with 1/2" washers in the short term - probably will not run as true.

    Rather than washers or the McMaster spacer it would be better to find a metal work turner than could make a relieved disc shaped adapter (~ 50mm in diameter) with a snag fit on the grinder shaft and line it with a piece of thin cardboard or hard lino.

    Here you an see such a disc adapter in behind this thin diamond disc.
