Resin bonded CBN wheel for Tormek T8 

Plated is also very handy for soft yet hard to machine super alloys. I know that EP CBN and diamond wheels are used with great success in grinding nickel base alloys.

Claryx is awesome; congrats on that purchase!

@@kknives_switzerland It's thanks to your recommendation ! I am grateful

It should indeed. I honestly expect a lifetime by now.

Swiss tools cost more, but indeed are usually much better than anything else, yes.😎👍

Hi I stopped working with the ceramic material for the forseeable future.

Sollte eigentlich alles im Video erklärt sein; ausser die Körnungen. Da geht bis 6 micron.

Biowas works well, but because of its non toxic nature you will have to replace it more often to avoid bacteria/fungi spreding in the water. 2% may be enough to keep corrosion away.

This one is more of a roughing stone; I'd say it's 250 grit. Depends also on how deep you dress it of course; but it's defintely on the rough side. I hope to be able to afford a 30 and 15 micron one as well in the forseeable future.

@@kknives_switzerland okay kknives thank you, whats the bore size?

Can't remember; but they make any size you want.

Ok how do you dress this stone exactly, I can tell haeffeli uses silicon carbide stone. In a special dresser machine.

Aluminum Oxide so called "white stick" guided by hand will do. Works even for some surface grinding applications in a pinch. But definitely more than precise enough for this application. Works great for me.

No unfortunately. They will glaze. Especially with the crazy high hardness steels I use.

@@kknives_switzerland hmm i was suspsious of the claims.

That's the process they use to make them, but the term can also refer to ceramic bonded ones. This particular one is resin bonded.

@@kknives_switzerland ---- One of the things not mentioned much is the material abrasives are set or bonded in. And people comparing whetstones rarely mention the type of abrasive. Do you know enough to give an overview? Specifically, I'd like to know if soaking stones use a different binder, or different process, as contrasted to splash & go. People cover all kinds of steels used for knives, but not a much on the composition of stones, synthetic or natural.

@@davesmith5656 Your question warrants another video. But maybe, this one already somewhat helps: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Fuer-Lb03EA.html

@@kknives_switzerland ---- Interesting to learn that Belgian coticule stones are garnet. I would be very interested in watching a YT video you might make using your metallurgical microscope to show stages of sharpening! I looked for the video you posted to Instagram, but did not find it. In sharpening knives for friends, all of them so far have had at least minor chips, so I go from sander, to coarse stone, to fine. My USB microscope at 200X will show scratch marks, but I still have not been able to determine exactly what happens with the edge on a high grit stone such as a 10K, and stropping. And lighting is a part of the science of microscopy [that I do not know].

@@kknives_switzerland ---- P.S. I had watched the video you linked to before - that was one of the ones that got my curiosity up about whetstone fabrication and content.

Much better finish, and will last for an entire life vs a few years. For the rest, watch the video! 😁

@@kknives_switzerland Thank you sir. I wish you a merry Christmas.

Same to you!

Wichtig: Ich habe nicht gesagt, dass electroplated weniger aggressiv sei, sondern genau das, was du gesagt hast: Erst sind sie aggressiver, und dann dann weniger aggressiv. Einfach auf Englisch; da hast du das wohl nicht ganz korrekt für dich übersetzt. :) Punkt Lebensdauer: Bei Messern im Bereich 65-70 HRC, wie ich sie herstelle, ist so ein Rad nach ca 1 Jahr durch erfahrungsgemäss, das Gleiche für meine Wicked Edge und DMT Steine. Wenn du Garantie geben kannst, dass deine länger halten, dann kaufe ich nach Verbrauch meines aktuellen EP 1200er Rades sehr gerne mein nächstes Rad bei dir. Das wäre nämlich fantastisch. Bisher hat das leider kein Hersteller bieten können bei Stählen im Bereich 65-70 HRC. Punkt Abrichten: Abrichten ist natürlich wichtig. Beim initialen Aufspannen stand ich 1h an der Maschine. War sehr mühsam, ging aber. Den Punkt im Video anzusprechen wäre in der Tat wichtig, wenn ich diese Räder verkaufen würde, was ich aber nicht tue. Ich möchte meinen Kunden lediglich bisschen was aus meinem Alltag zeigen. :) Ich habe übrigens schon einige dieser Räder auf anderen Maschinen im Einsatz und 1x im Jahr ist halt Abrichten angesagt; jedes Mal mühsam, aber es gehört dazu. Zwischendurch mit Whitestick/Schärfstein aus Aluoxid abziehen.

Ach ja, kurze Frage, wenn du schon "hier" bist - ist die BESS - Fixtur mittlerweile erhältlich?

@@kknives_switzerland wenn du die Vorrichtung für den Best messtester meinst ja die ist in meinem Shop drin mittlerweile ich hoffe es sind noch welche verfügbar wenn nicht dauert es zwei Wochen da mein Hersteller zwei Wochen im Urlaub ist und erst nächste Woche wiederkommt

@@schleifjunkieshannsplag8635 Oh super, schau ich gleich rein!👍

Hi I am very interested in ordering the same wheel, can you help me with the information you gave to the company when you ordered your wheel, this would help me a lot. Kind regards Iain

I mention it somewhere in the video.👍
