I need a 14" contact wheel for my KMG and they are out of stock and it's looking like a potential 4 week turn around (no ill feelings toward them.. just bad luck for me). I'm on a deadline for a special project and I have a need for one quite a bit quicker than that. Does anybody know of other manufacturer's that would work for me on this without me having to rebuild my grinder???
 
I would check with Tracy at USA knifemaker.
 
Thanks folk. 12345678910... I had contacted them (get it? contact?) and they have the same turn around. Oh well... I must wait. I'm not good at that.
 
Do you need it for hollow grinding or hogging material?

PM Nathan the machinist. He makes 36in radius platens that are great for hollow grinding and they're only like $100. It will give you a much flatter grind than a 14inch wheel
 
Thanks guys.. I need it for hollow grinding. Nice, smooth, subtle hollow grinds. Sounds like Nathan's platen might be another tool I should add.. but I will also need the wheel. Thanks for sharing that info...

NStricker... Thanks. I will call them tomorrow. But looks like they have a 2 week turn around...
