Grit: Very Fine (120 Grit). If you need to get the job done right and quickly, then the Norton Grinding Wheel is the perfect solution for you. This premium aluminum oxide bench and pedestal grinding wheel is designed for maximum performance and comes in a very fine grit of 120. It is easy to install, compatible with most machines, and comes in a convenient 6 inch size. It is also packaged for maximum protection and durability. With the Norton Grinding Wheel, you can be sure that you are getting the best grinding wheel available. TN: I bought this mainly as a finer grit alternative for sharpening lathe tools on a wheel. It has been in my shop for years now, and I am totally satisfied with it. It leaves a finer finish than the regular "fine" wheel your bench grinder came with, and while ALL fine wheels create more heat than coarse wheels, I don't feel that I'm scorching tools too fast with this stone.
It is probably also a little faster wearing than the basic fine wheel that comes on your grinder. But not too bad. I use it frequently as I make bowls, as it is my primary sharpening solution for those tools. I still have at least 7 " of wheel left I think. I am pretty cheap so I would not like it if it wore away too easily, even if it did a great job grinding.
You can do even better by touching the tool with a fine diamond hone or a fine sharpening stone after using this wheel, but you can absolutely do fine turning wood with just this wheel on your grinder--nothing else is really necessary.

Big Wave Dave: Excellent for sharpening drill bits off a bit jig. If your drill doctor is running lean on the diamond grinder, this stone is a serious back up!

Craig Guinn: Nice stone, easy to use. My main comment it that it is wearing very fast, maybe 1/2” in a couple of months with occasional hobby use. I’m probably pushing it too hard on larger mild steel, but I get a pile of dust during use. Likely great for hss tools and bits.

terry: The white grinding compound for high speed steel does not get the tool as hot as regular grey carborundum does. This wheel works as it should. I am giving it one star because I had to bolt the grinder to the bench as it vibrates so bad way worse than the cheap wheels that came with the grinder.

Charles A. Miess: SHIPPING AND HANDLING. I ordered four grinding wheels from amazon for my two bench grinders. Two were six-inch Norton white wheels, one was a Norton seven-inch regular wheel, and one, a seven-inch Forney. In each case, the wheel was flopping around in the box with an ineffective bit of packing material. The Forney wheel was bare naked and had worn a hole in a pack of countersink drills. It was happily unsharpening them.
The Norton wheels were in their own box inside the amazon package. The white wheels arrived undamaged. The seven-inch wheel had a chipped edge. Despite the poor amazon packaging, it probably was damaged BEFORE shipping because the internal box was dirty and scuffed with corners split.
Amazon has always had a stellar reputation with me but (are you listening amazon?) they need to do a better job packaging (and handling) grinding wheels. Damaged wheels can fly apart explosively. For some disturbing reality, Google "grinding wheel deaths."
Following are salient points regarding handling and storage from the government standard on grinding wheels, ANSI B7.1-1970.
1. Handle wheels carefully to prevent dropping or bumping.
2. Do not expose...
