Thank you for choosing Bucktool, dear customer. The SCM8080 sharpener does not accept CBN grinding wheels. The adaptive CBN wheel is missing from the SCM8080 sharpener.

I was a little disappointed because there was some run out; it wasn't a lot, but I wasn't expecting it. It doesn't wobble nearly as much as my oxide wheel and won't fall apart, which is a plus. For something made in China, it's a bit pricey. It was well-packaged and didn't have the typical China garbage smell. I'll be happy if it lasts a long time, and if there are any issues, I'll update it.
At 1700 and 3400 rpm, the blades have a well-balanced aggressive cutting action. I purchased 80 grit and 600 grit sandpaper, but I mostly use 600 to sharpen my lathe tools. (The first sharpening/shaping is done with the 80 grit. ).
I installed this wheel on a refurbished belt-driven grinder and am very pleased with the quality and versatility it offers. I've used it for tungsten sharpening, plexiglass shaping, rivet head grinding, cutting thin stainless rod, and a variety of other tasks. I've never made a better investment in my life.
Despite its high price, I believe this is of decent quality. The only way to find out is to wait. After a few years of intermittent (not daily) use, the previous one (made by a different company) delaminated. I assumed that by purchasing the item, I would be able to avoid having to replace it in the future. Perhaps I should reconsider my decision.
It's fantastic! It is critical to use sharp tools. The wheel functions exactly as it should. This product comes highly recommended by me.
