When it comes to diamond sharpening tools, having the right grinding wheel can make all the difference. The best grinding wheels for this purpose are those that are factory balanced, ensuring that grinders run smoothly and efficiently. One such type of grinding wheel is the 1 1/2" face wheel, which doesn't require any dressing. This means that there is no mess associated with truing wheels or breathing in dust related to dressing wheels.What's more, these grinding wheels put very little heat into the tool, which means that there is no bluing of the steel. This is important because bluing can weaken the tool and make it more prone to breaking or chipping. In fact, with these grinding wheels, you can still touch the end of the tool after a normal sharpening .Another benefit of these grinding wheels is that they are safe to use without guards. This is because there is no chance of them blowing up, so you can remove the guards to get better light and no shadows when sharpening your tools. Of course, it is still important to use eye protection to avoid any potential accidents.When it comes to grit, it is suggested to use 180 grit for beading tools, skews, and spindle gouges. For shaping and sharpening larger turning tools, 60 or 80 grit is recommended. Regardless of the grit, these grinding wheels produce a great edge that will help you get the most out of your lathe tools.In summary, the best grinding wheels for sharpening lathe tools are those that are factory balanced, have a 1 1/2" face, and require no dressing. They put very little heat into the tool, don't cause bluing of the steel, and are safe to use without guards. By using the right grit for your specific tools, you can achieve a great edge that will help you achieve precision and accuracy in your turning projects.

Frequenstly Answer Qeustion
Q: Are CBN wheels worth it?
They have several benefits --- no need to constantly dress them to keep them true and remove the hollow that develops from the gouges, retain consistent diameter as a result on not dressing, and sharpen 10v and 11a steels better, because these new steels have carbide granules embedded in them, and CBN can sharpen
Q: Can CBN wheels be used on a high speed grinder?
CBN does not break down while sharpening steel, and is a superior material for high speed grinding of woodworking tools. CBN wheels have been used in industrial grinding applications for many years.

Q: What is the difference between diamond and CBN grinding wheel?
Diamonds are better for grinding more delicate items like glass, quartz, and ceramics. CBN doesn't chemically react with iron. This lack of reaction allows CBN to remove more material and last longer than diamonds when grinding most hard metals.
Q: What are the advantages of CBN grinding wheels?
Aside from producing better-quality cutting edges, the use of CBN grinding wheels for a variety of hardened cutting tools can reduce your overall cost of grinding by 20-50%, depending on its applications. Since there is little conditioning involved, these machines require even less downtime for any wheel maintenance.
Q: What is CBN abrasive used for?
CBN is the abrasive of choice for precision operations like CNC machining, high speed industrial grinding, and operations involving high heat capacity. This material accurately cuts cast iron and hardened tool steels like M2 and D2 with ease.
Q: What is the difference between SDC and CBN grinding wheels?
Different heat resistance: The heat resistance of diamond SDC grinding wheels is even higher than 800 degrees Celsius. CBN cubic boron nitride can withstand high temperatures of 1250-1350 degrees Celsius.
Q: What is the difference between CBN and diamond wheel?
CBN stands for cubic boron nitride, a superabrasive that offers almost the hardness of diamond, cool cutting and the ability to work with ferrous materials, unlike diamond. Diamond is composed of pure carbon and is produced under high heat and pressure.
Q: What is CBN for sharpening?
CBN stands for Cubic Boron Nitride. It is a man-made material that rivals the hardness of the diamond. CBN Grinding Wheels are used for sharpening and grinding of difficult to grind materials (DTG). They are built and designed for wet or dry precision grinding applications on the hardest materials.
Q: What is the cutting speed for a CBN grinding wheel?
Recommended wheel speeds for vitrified CBN applications is 60-120 mts/sec. However machines with wheel speed as low as 37mts/sec have shown good G-ratios and cycle times when tooled up with vitrified CBN wheels.
