Review on Norton Pedestal Abrasive Straight Thickness by Keith Bradley

I should have listened to other reviews of these grinding wheels, the plastic bushings in the packaging are JOKE. I bought some 1" x 1/2" nylon bushings and then spent almost an hour getting this wheel to spin properly. Looking at it, I noticed a paper sticker on both sides of the wheel from 60,000 to 30,000 on a side. For others, the stickers can be easily removed once they are wet. Now I could get it to work, the next problem is that they are shaped like an egg. I took a diamond wheel dresser and spent the better part of an hour rounding the wheel, now I can start my grinder without shaking anything off my desk. Save time and money and buy another brand! if you don't have the tool. lots of time to be frustrated and not wear out the bearing if i hadn't removed the stickers i would have returned it. My $5.00 Porter cable wheels spin properly and require very little handling before use. I will try Meda or Oneway wheels in the future. These wheels make better paperweights!
