CBN Grinding Wheels for Woodturners — Precision & Stability for Dry Grinders

Professional CBN Grinding Wheels for Woodturning Tools

Our CBN Grinding Wheels for Woodturners are designed specifically for dry bench grinders, delivering consistent sharpening performance, long service life, and vibration-free operation. These wheels are engineered for craftsmen who demand accuracy, stability, and efficiency when sharpening woodturning tools.

Unlike traditional aluminum oxide wheels, CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride) wheels maintain their shape, never require dressing, and provide fast, controlled material removal without excessive heat buildup.


Why CBN Grinding Wheels Are the Preferred Choice for Woodturners

CBN is a superabrasive material ideally suited for sharpening hardened steel turning tools. It offers excellent thermal stability, high wear resistance, and consistent cutting performance, even during intensive use.

Our wheels use an electroplated (galvanic) bond, where premium CBN grains are securely fixed to a precision-machined steel core using a nickel layer. This construction allows the abrasive to protrude above the bond, resulting in:

  • High cutting efficiency

  • Excellent chip evacuation

  • Reduced heat transfer to the tool edge

The nickel bond also helps dissipate heat, minimizing the risk of overheating or temper loss during dry grinding.


Designed for Stability at Any Speed

Each wheel is factory balanced to ensure smooth, vibration-free operation. Depending on your grinder and working speed, you can choose the body design that best fits your setup:

  • Light Body wheels — optimized for grinders running up to 1800 RPM

  • Heavy Body wheels — reinforced steel cores designed for high-speed grinders up to 3600 RPM

This allows woodturners to achieve maximum control and safety, regardless of machine type.


Optimized Edge Geometry for Woodturning

All wheels feature a 1/16″ corner radius, providing a slightly rounded edge that:

  • Improves edge durability

  • Reduces the risk of chipping

  • Enhances safety during sharpening

  • Allows versatile shaping of turning tools

The wheel edges are also coated with CBN, ensuring consistent performance across the entire working surface.
