Alternative to grinding on side of wheel ?
Would you ever use these as an alternative to grinding on the flat side of the wheel ? (Which of course we never do anyway.) Am guessing some sort of solid backing plate would be needed.

During some googling this morning I became quite confused regarding what use experienced metalworkers might have for these diamond wheels.
Have tried a few times now to get local Bunnings to "special order" me a white Norton alox cup wheel but they seem to have a lot of difficulty, and after waiting a few weeks offer me a standard grey circular wheel.

I have them for use in cutting and polishing gem stones and yes I have cheated and used them for carbide and HSS wet of course and they work quite well as for alox wheels etc go to a abrasives supplier it is not really one of the areas that Bunnings exel

Bill, I've had one of those THK 6" diamond wheels on the side of my CBN wheel since 2014.
They do flex so it's supported backed by a 12mm thick steel disc that is is about 75mm in diameter.
Works great.

We bought a set of about a dozen different grits of these diamond lapidary wheels for SWMBO's jewellery hobby and she has used one for a few hours.
