I finally got paper wheels . . .

[Foilist]

. . . and I am pleased! I got a set of paper wheels and the associated dressings for them to go on my bench grinder. The learning curve was not too difficult, and in almost no time my edged tools have never been sharper!

Congratulations. It really is a good sharpener and fairly easy to learn. My only problem is that they sharpen my knives so fast, that I sometimes have to think about what I need to do first, before I sharpen. My knives stay sharp for a long time.

Have fun,

Romo

Many of us here know what you mean! It's a great system! My only complaint is that people hand knives to me that are too far gone for the wheels to fix. That involves much more work.

Good sharpening,
Dave

That is why I have the Work Sharp (original), for those major re-grinds and broken tips etc. Then after getting them back into some semblance of normal, I take them to the wheels to finish them off. Great system for a small investment.

Seems like a good pairing ohallum :thumbup: I just got my wheels, am waiting on a replacement for the grit wheel from factory but played with the rouge wheel and love the result.

I can't wait until I can finally get a set of wheels. After spending time with Richard and seeing how he puts an edge on using them, I know how you guys must feel.

If they let you keep the old wheel, put it in your garage or other higher humidity area and weigh it down on something flat and let it sit there for a while in the higher humidity, and see if it will eventually straighten up. If it does, then bring it back in where there is a dryer climate and see if it will stay flat still with some weight on it until it has a chance to dry out really good. You can use it for a spare for when you need to re grit your replacement. I have a spare for my grit wheel for that purpose. A little wobble from side to side is acceptable, as long as it is not out of round. If out of round you can grind it down with 40 - 50 grit sandpaper mounted on a flat board until it is round and smooth, and then re grit. Good luck!
