I’ve been watching some of the tutorials on sharpening and see guys using a white grinding wheel. I know that these white wheels tend to keep the heat and burning down. Dose anyone know where I can purchase one of these white wheels.
Thanks, ZABO

Most woodworking suppliers should carry the white wheels. However, if you check a wood turning supplier (http://www.woodturnerscatalog.com), you'll find a greater selection, including Norton's 3X wheels which Joel mentioned. White wheels work as advertised, however, they also wear (groove) rapidly and create a plume of fine dust when trued.

The 3X wheels made for woodturning are usually harder than those made for regular edge tools. You want the ones in I grade, not K grade that turners favor. It was in our shop in discussions with Norton that the 3X wheel came about and we did the early testing and were the first retailer, but now almost every vendor of woodworking tools stocks them - so they are be easy to get.Joel
