finding a diamond grinding wheel

Post by Dick »

HI. I need to find a supply of 4" concave diamond wheel, sometimes called cup wheel for my angle grinder. Also, asking Bob at HIS. I have used at Pilchuck, but all I find are straight profiles. I checked Ebay, granite stores, and online and am having trouble. Anyone know? If not, I will be at Pilchuck next month and can try and find out.

Have you looked at Abrasive Technology?

Thanks Tony and Brad. Looking for 4" with 5/8" x 11 threads for angle grinder. Coarse or rough grit. The photos show the idea of the wheel, as I have seen several shapes, but basically like this. My new work uses this as in the other photo.

Don't have that one, Dick, but I'll check my supplier to see if they make something similar.
