[sparky-01]

well its time to have my contact wheel re lined.
i have been useing a 60 durometer wheel all this time .
i have been told i would like a 70 durometer better geing that the 60 is so soft.

I don't have much of an answer for your question, but I would like to know where you can get a wheel re-lined and about what the cost is.

Contact Rubber Corp has recovered several wheels for me and did a good job. Here's the address I use: b.denny@contactrubber.com

You can get any durometer you want from them.

I ground on 90 Dur. for years, but it tends to leave ripples in the blade. Great for hogging. I've used 70, and 60s. the 60 leaves a much nicer-smoother finish, but tends to wash out the top of the grind line on some styles of grinds. Especially with the bigger diameter contact wheels. I think I like 70 over all the best. Mike http://www.lovettknives.com/
