Aluminum should be able to use steel crucibles, and why melt cans? they are not a castable alloy

furlongs are for horse races, are you racing this snake against Glenns new friend?

last week, but I listen to a rock oldies station... for those that are clueless.

no clue cant see it from here

bench grinder is restricted to only one size of contact wheel. belt has many options. Bench is stuck to a few grits, belt has many, plus small wheel and platen or slack belt work can not be done on a bench grinder. there is no speed control on the bench grinder, they are not the same machines

thats buss bar not bus bar Just FYI

not good for forging

also used metals are always a crap shoot

that is a burnt end, while good for brisket its not good for steel

Since the web sites list the grit then the name and type . its hard to understand how you dont know the grit. Also Norton R981 is the type not the grit

If tru grit doesnt stock them, then no one will. I buy mostly form USA knifemaker, but I dont know of anyone that makes ceramic 400 or 800 grit.
