Small wheel sizes

[KFU]

Hey all, I just ordered a Wilmont Tag and need some small wheels. Ive been using a Grizzly so I haven't used small wheels before. What sizes can you not live without? I want to order two to start with.

I'd have to say my 1" gets used the most. Perfect size for shaping choils & finger grooves. I also use the 1" on certain kydex sheaths. Following that I use my 1/2" and 1/4" (for serrations and such) about equally. 2" is a great size for lots of things . . . I replaced the top idler wheel on my platen with a 2" contact wheel, so I don't need a small wheel in that size.

1" then maybe 3/8" or 1.5".... 3/4" is also nice for smaller choils

+1 on both of these comments. For me 3/4", 1", 1 1/2"

I have a 1", but will probably end up with a 1.5" and a 2" at some point.

Remember you can use a 1/2" to make a 3/4" radius, but not use a 3/4" to make a 1/2". I started with a 3/4" and a 1 1/2". Ended up with everything but a 2" which platen wheels do.

I agree with Jim,and did the same,still use the 3/4" and 1-1/2" the most.
