Grind Wheels

[Alan RawlinsParticipant @alanrawlins60482]

I have been grinding my HSS lathe tools on my bench grinder using a CONSORT Pink grindstone RA60-LV1. Unfortunately Consort have gone out of business and the company that this web site refers you to will not have any of these in for 14 weeks. This seems to be a good stone for grinding HSS and I would also like to obtain another one of these plus an extra wheel that is a little courser than the RA60-LV1 for "roughing" purposes. Does anyone know of any company that sells these or something very similar? One of the problems is my bench grinder takes a 200mm x 25mm x 31.75 which I find is a good size, and better than a 150mm x 20mm one.

Hi Alan,
I have bought grinding wheels in the past from a company called AbTec This is a link to them on ebay and this is a link to their website. They may have something that suits your needs.

Thank you all for your replies, It looks like ABTEC will probably have what I want but was quite shocked about the price.But hey ho I shouldn't need to buy another one. Will have to wait until after the bank holiday now to order it.
