Review on Premium Norton Grinding Wheel: Gemini Bench & Pedestal Aluminum Oxide Grinder Wheel - Medium Grit (8 Inch) - 1 Pack by Dennis Moonin

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Note that this may require some serious machining and wheel alignment!

Impeller arrived today 23rd February 2017 Ring tested ok no chips etc. Installed the wheel, installed the top spark arrestor and stopper 1/8" from the wheel. 2/3 turn. Remove the spark arrestor and place it on your hand by rotating the front of the wheel so the gap at the stop changes from 1/8 to 1/4 inch. I've cleaned the wheel twice to fix it and I'm not done yet. When I'm done I'll measure the diameter and post it here. I didn't have to machine the wheel more than 1/8 inch to get it right. It is mounted on a 3/4 hp industrial grinder. 4" for straightening and 1/16" for custom steel bushings for the center. I will not buy a Norton steering wheel again, the quality has deteriorated significantly compared to previous years.

Pros
  • Excellent overall specs
Cons
  • Some issues
