Fusion blades worth it?

I had a machine shop mill me an adapter that will allow me to use the larger wheels on the X02. That's the easy part the challenge lies in getting the wheel down to a 4 inch diameter.

That would be great. We will be coming through there in a couple of weekends on our way up to Burlington VT. I'll be sure to stop in.

Can you dress the special made wheel with a spinner? If so it must wear the spinner out quicker than a conventional stone?

I got this one down to 4 5/8, will that be small enough?

JR, 20mm on the spindle.

The Cubitron Wheel is made by 3M. 60grit. It's ceramic and has 55% the hardness of diamond. What's unique about it is that it absorbs heat. It dresses real easy with the spinners. I've only done about 20 sets of Nitinol alloy on it so far, so can't really say if it kills the spinner any more than normal, it doesn't appear that it does though. The prosharp's are ceramic and actually work great. You should do all you can to get one of these to work on your X02.

4 inch is the max size, I'm wondering if I could install it on my friends sharpener and just dress it down to 4 inches with an old diamond?

or...you could spend $4500 and get a bigger Blackstone portable. :-)
