6" drive wheel?

[Kevin McGovern]

I'm looking for a reasonably priced 6" drive wheel. I'm happy with OBM wheels, but they only go up to 5". Any leads?

Beaumont for 5/8" shaft.

Yeah. I checked them. Just seems pricey for a drive wheel.

I think I got mine from usaknifemaker

A drive wheel is one of those things that is worth getting a well made and well balanced product. Just a tad out of round or balance and the grinder will vibrate and rattle. Beaumont sells a good one. Other sources may not be as smooth running.

Can't speak for the quality, but if you search eBay for '6" grinder drive wheel', there's one for about $66 plus shipping.

Not sure if you're gonna find one much cheaper than that.

I have a Beaumont, it works perfectly.
