Has anyone tried Craft Supplies Raptor CBN wheel? I wonder how they compare with the CBN wheels offered elsewhere.

Their website says "Sorry. This item is no longer available". Guess it doesn't matter.

Can't remember who made them, but I always thought the 1 inch wide wheels would be a very difficult sell compared to the 1 1/2 inch wide wheels. I have never run off the edge of the 1 1/2 inch wide wheels...

>>>Wide wheels are good!

A reason to buy wheels with square edges instead of radiused edges (unless you need to sharpen curves on small cutters that can't be removed from long handles.). The 1/4" radiused edge wheel I bought at first lost 1/2" of width. The 90-deg edges allow grinding special tools, too.
