Water grinding wheel

[chefcomesback]

Anybody knows where can I find a water grinding wheel? I am not looking for massive ones , something small will do for the interim. I am located in Australia , obviously the freight will be a big factor . Thanks

I've been curious to know how much these things cost as well. What size/specs are you interested in?

I viewed on YT some smaller ones that rotate on a horizontal axis similar to the ones from the Kohetsu blacksmiths as well as Takamura's. Question: What makes the water they use neon green?

I don't know what my options would be, my only criteria is nothing bigger than a 30-40 cm diameter

Grizzly tool makes a small wet grinder. Its a 10" or approx 25cm. wheel. http://www.grizzly.com/products/10-Wet-Grinder-Kit-Anniversary-Edition/T10010ANV

I have never used one but considered buying one MANY times. Just never pulled the trigger.

I have had a Tormek for years.They arent cheap but are well built and will last.They are readily available in Oz.Schepach do a cheaper version but I havent used one so cant comment.

I know Maksim bought one about six months ago. I would guess its about 40 cm i diameter. Consider writing to him

I use the machine on top of the list from time time.

Can you translate the price listing for each of them in USD?

I'd chop my D*** off for the bottom one.

Competitor to Tormek. You purchase Japanese water stones for this model. I have retired my Tormek as it is painfully slow and does leave a hollow grind; which is not what I am after. I wld be open to a model if the round stone is laid flat.

Still in Japanese but prices listed in Japanese yen, so easy to convert. I noticed some suggestions on the bottom of the amazon page for much cheaper but have never heard of the brands.
