Dirt Cheap! 

[Commercial link removed]

Sorry about the link.  Look up stone wheel dressers or something like that on amazon.  I got 3 for $11.  

The crusted diamond dressing tools for dressing grinding stones actually work on TriZact Gator belts.  Those belts tend to glaze over, so a couple seconds on the dressing tool helps unclog the belt.  I tried the same tool on a ceramic belt and it made it smoother, but didn't cut any better.  I try to find ceramic belts designed for grinding at lower pressures where the grain fractures easier.  VSM is the brand I normally use. 

Awesome!  Thanks for the info!

Thanks!  The bricks would be for the front of it, the back is mostly closed already.  Did you find it too a lot more time to come up to temp vs a koawool/refractory lined forge?  That is my only hesitation with it being an all refractory forge versus a covered koawool forge.

I am really intrigued by this forge and either looking at buying one, or making one and using their burner.  Does it have the brick bracket on it to make a door with fire bricks on the newer ones?  Any updates after using it for a while?
