Greetings all; Specifically, my inability to find a wheel in cbn similar to the $20 dremel diamond disk, something with a 6mm or 6.35mm shank that would fit in the er20 chuck on the 6040 mill.
I'd like to put a prop under the front of my A axis to establish heel clearance then rotate the chuck after touching it off straight up, to the side angles needed to do the v-belt pulley John D. was asking about. That or most any other shape an HSS lathe tool needs sharpened at. Attacking HSS with diamond is a waste of time and burns up the expen$ive diamond. I have a 4" cup cbn wheel, but the arbors are junk, so its contact isn't true. At 3k revs, thats hard on the wheel by the time you can hear contact. So where can I src a cbn wheel small enough to run at 10k+ revs in the 6040's spindle? Nearly 2 hours of googling came up empty below 3".
