I was watching a Youtube-This Old Tony. He said his go to wheel for just about everything is a Norton, Ceramic 5SG46-JVS
This converts to
Hardness-J
Ceramic
Grade Course
Grit 46
Type 1
rpm 3600
Blue
Vitrified
Coarse
Medium hardness
I bought it I love it. It's balanced!! The finish I got on hardened A2 is good, cast iron surface plate-like is outstanding!!
Question for you,
When would I use a close second?
3SGR60-HVP2
Translates to
Hardness H
ceramic
Medium
60 grit
Type 1
3600
Purple
Vitrified
Medium
Soft hardness
Porous
Wet-dry
Please give examples of why you would use one over the other?
I did take a final .001" and spark out using a close grain, 100 grit J wheel on the surface plate-cast iron and the finish is like a mirror.
So, I did learn if you are just taking off less than .001 the finer grit can produce amazing finishes but they would load up super quick.
Thanks,
Just trying to open the door to this mystery.
