{"product_id":"raptor-8x1-1-2-cbn-sharpening-wheel","title":"Raptor 8\"x1-1\/2\" CBN Sharpening Wheel","description":"\u003cp\u003eCBN sharpening wheels have become the new standard for sharpening, and the Raptor CBN wheel delivers every advantage that’s made them so popular over traditional aluminum oxide wheels. It cuts efficiently without heat buildup, never changes size or shape, and keeps a perfectly flat wheel face. The result is a super clean, razor-sharp cutting edge with a highly polished bevel that’s far less likely to mark the freshly cut surface of your wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wider 1-1\/2” version gives you extra surface area to work with, letting you complete a grind from wing to wing in one pass instead of working in sections. That means faster sharpening sessions and more even wheel wear over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ideal sharpening setup pairs a Raptor CBN wheel with a 46 grit Norton 3X Grinding Wheel for rough shaping or modifying tools. Since the 3X wheel removes material quickly while the Raptor CBN wheel handles final sharpening, a grinder fitted with both makes for a complete sharpening station.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduces a razor-sharp cutting edge\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeaves a polished surface on the tool bevel\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEliminates dangerous sparks\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast, cool cutting action eliminates bluing\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimal pressure needed when grinding\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever changes diameter or shape\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever needs balancing\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectroplated CBN for durability\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachined from solid 6061 aluminum\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime guarantee\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCBN wheels aren’t intended for rough shaping tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended grinder operating speed: 1,100 to 2,200 RPM\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasures 8” diameter x 1-1\/2” wide\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 5\/8” diameter arbor\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in 80, 180, and 320 grit\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCBN wheels are not intended for rough shaping tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarning\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grinding non-heat-treated steel such as carbon steel, aluminum, and other soft metals will cause irreparable damage to the wheel and is not covered under warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWobbly wheels?\u003cbr\u003eIf your wheel isn’t running true, it’s likely due to your grinder’s wheel washers.
