DC-250 Diamond Wheel Coarse 360 grit - For Fast Steel Removal When Shaping and a Rapid Repair of a Dull or Damaged Edge - Fits T-8 and T-7

I needed a coarse wheel to augment my 1000 grit diamond wheel and I got it! I am growing into my wood turning skills and now I can easily create new tool shapes without the worry of overheating the M2 grade steels in which I have invested. The package arrived undamaged, the wheel was perfectly round and the simple TORMEK rapid wheel change method is just superb. If a person is truly interested in the care of tools and finer techniques of sharpening steel, The TORMEK diamond wheels are the way to go. I have not tried sharpening carbide yet, but that will be my next adventure. I highly recommend the TORMEK diamond wheels.

If you're just getting in to Tormek and need to grind profiles - you're either going to need this wheel or buy a high speed grinder. The DC-250 does a good job as a medium coarse wheel. Follow the instructions and you'll be pleased with the results. If you're not used to diamond wheels - don't put a lot of pressure on the wheel - it won't grind any faster and you'll ruin the life of the bonded diamond. This is the first wheel I bought after getting my Tormek, and I'm glad I did.

I have a Tormek and was frustrated trying to re-grind (as opposed to merely sharpen) damaged edges or regrinding edges to form a new angle. The stock wheel was just too S-L-O-W! I'd spend half an afternoon getting a new edge profiled. (Don't know how the guy on the company-produced vids is able to re-grind a damaged chisel edge in a few minutes unless the tool had really soft steel?) I decided to try this to shorten the process. And, despite the extra minute or two it takes to swap out wheels, this is a HUGE improvement. Just a few minutes and the tool is ready to sharpen. Definitely worth the additional investment.

Havent even used it 5 times and its already lost its diamond grit. Super not happy about this.

This is a must half if you have a tour Mac unbelievable Stone makes easy work out of reshaping a blade and getting the angle you want if I could only buy one stone out of the three diamond stones this one would be at the stone that comes with a Mac can do the rest but this is wonderful

Works well and might be worth the investment over the long run

Tormek's diamond wheels are really great!

Used this on knives for a couple weeks, and after 20-30 knives it really lost most of it's ability to remove material like it should for the grit #. Not overly impressed, and haven't used it in months...
