Efficient Accessory for Sanding and Grinding

My analysis of this power tool accessory showed that it was highly efficient for sanding and grinding tasks. The straight thickness made it easy to use, while the abrasive material enabled me to complete tasks quickly. However, the price is slightly on the higher side.

Pros
  • Efficient, straight thickness, easy to use
Cons
  • Price is slightly high

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…

Pros
  • Excellent overall specs
Cons
  • Some issues

Good enough for my needs; poorly balanced

This wheel is adequate for my needs (sharpening mower blades and grinding improper car parts) but other reviewers mention that the wheel may or may not be round. I installed this Norton wheel in place of the original 20 year old wheel on my Delta bench grinder. The old wheel was less than half worn compared to the new one. As I was literally 11 years old when I bought this grinder new, I can't exactly remember if my grinder was vibrating and "running" that much, but I'm a little annoyed. I can…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Can't remember
