Smeden gegen Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I'm looking to find newly made grindstones for low-rev wet grinders, and i'm not talking about Tormeks or teeny tiny aluminium oxide ones, i'm talking around 30 inches, where can i find it? And no, yardsales and auctions is not an answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I would suggest a place that supplies Industrial CNC Grinder machines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeden gegen Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 How come? Are they specialized with wet grinders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Because grinding wheels are their business and even if the company you contact doesn't carry them they will know who does and refer you. Call on the telephone. Trying to contact companies on their web site contact page is almost always a waste of time. Frosty The Lucky.

ThomasPowers Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Back in the day I'd check the Last Whole Earth Catalog and see if that provided a lead. I wonder if millstones would work for grinding metal I know you can still get querns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Was it used, NOS, or new? I recently sold off a 4" wide stone from the hoard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have it sitting aside because the wheel on the grinder is in just as good shape, after I figured out how to true it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuEulear Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Industrial salvage stores are a source i went looking for one and bought a pallet of 6 24” round stones for less than 50$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George N. M. Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 OK, what are you going to do with the other 5 or have you passed them on already. They sound like good tailgating material.
