I just got the Woodcraft slow speed grinder. It came with a 60 grit wheel on one side. The other side was a 120 grit that I replaced with a diamond wheel. Christmas present to self. I have it set up with the Wolverine jig.
I ordered a couple of spindle gouges from Doug Thompson. I love his tools! They just came in the mail. WooHoo! One has no grind on it at all. Certainly the 60 grit wheel will remedy that.
Question. Can I go from the 60 grit wheel to the diamond wheel efficiently, or do I need to put the 120 grit wheel back on? The diamond wheel is rated at 120 grit, but it sure feels smoother than that to my fingers. Since Doug's tools are not the ordinary HSS, does anyone have some experience here?
