Hi Tony,?
As a couple other guys mentioned, wheel selection is important as well as dressing as needed.?
AlOx works fine, I? use a 36g on the left and either 60 or 80 on the right. A dressing stick works good both for truing and restoring a nice flat face. The star wheel dressers are good for "opening" up a wheel but that's about it.?
I did just pick up a CBN wheel from Shars for my carbide grinder, already had a diamond wheel for the other side.?
Here's a pic of the diamond wheels former home.?
What size grinder do you have?
I like to use the smallest tool bit that will do the job, at home it's mostly 1/4" or 3/8", less to grind.?

Subject: [atlas-craftsman IO] new cutting tools

I hate to shape a new cutting tool since there is so much material to grind away. I would like you forum members to tell me which wheel you use or which is the most aggressive. My old cutters are ground for my lantern tool post a couple are still usable but most need to be deep sixed.
