Norton Premium Blue 8 Inch Ceramic Alumina Bench Grinder Wheel, Pack of 1

Required a little balancing to run vibration free. Grinds tools nicely. Would buy again.

I would have never bought this if I had not tried it at a friends shop first. I was modifying a screwdriver to work for an application. I was surprised how quickly it removed material and how little heat build up there was.

Best grinding grit available in 8” for under $100 , runs cooler than everything else, consistent and well bound. However, both of mine had runout and balance issues. Did the usual remounting and rotating, but only fixed by spending more $ on the Oneway Grinding Wheel balancer (which was expensive for what it was, but worked). Would recommend if you can deal with the minor issues.

The stone cuts nice, once you get the wheel in balance. Not sure if the plastic bushing insert was the problem or how it was mounting on my bench grinder but It took several attempts at shifting the stone around on the arbor to finally get it to spin somewhat smoothly.

Had it installed and using it in three days .
