CBN Wheel for RSBG8 Grinder

[Turner Tim]

Afternoon all,
I've got one of the older style 8" grinders (pre 2018) and I'm about to look to replace the 40mm white wheel and started to think about a CBN replacement. Being realistic, I don't need the new wheel to be 40mm wide, just turning tools being sharpened, but the variety out there in the big world is slightly confusing so I'm just looking for any advice/guidance as to various options for sources to get a suitable wheel from please?

Many thanks
Tim

May I ask, why do you want to change the white aluminium oxide wheel?

bear in mind that the spindle length on the RSBG8 grinder is designed for 25mm wheels. The 40mm wheels Record install are dished in the centre so they are only 25mm wide where they attach. IF you get a CBN wheel, make sure the centre boss is configured likewise.
