Rick, the packrat in me keeps everything. The green
wheels have never been used. A friend has this as his
only grinder and uses the side of the wheel and his
wheels are badly gouged and his attempts at truing
looks goofy because he runs up against the metal back
plate.
In doing more research, MSC also sells an aluminium
oxide wheel for this grinder at one and half times
the price of Wholesale Tools.

Maybe the higher price means a better wheel, but my
guess is that all these wheels are imported from Israel.
And Rick, thanks again for the lead on YouTube showing
the 5 part series about tuning up the HF grinder
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSi3lucyRQo> , balancing
a nickel after his rework is truly amazing.
