I've moved away from them now Mick and it's the best decision ever!

I now have a heavy duty 450W Bench Grinder (Sealey Tools) which has a coarse standard wheel on one side and one of these on the other!

This company sells both as a package along with the grinder. The diamond wheel is a real game changer! Sharpens teeth like razors and seems to last forever. However, the only dust you get is from the metal (which is still hazardous) but much cleaner than the Green wheel which I would never use again. Yes, the diamond wheel is pricey, but it pays for itself with a set of teeth pretty much and lasts 20 times longer than a green wheel! Do the maths on that along with the added performance and there is no contest!

Hi Stumpy... i was wondering what type of diamond wheel you bought? Coarse, medium or fine?

I found out that the green wheel sharpens the carbide fairly quickly comparing to diamond one...

I use green teeth and have the pillar drill and bench grinder set up... i bought this wheel from ebay...https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/100x10x20mm-Diamond-Flat-Disc-Straight-Grinder-Grinding-Wheel-150-Grit/191880025092?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649

might be useful for 900 and up green teeth series as the diameter of the tooth is bigger. I use 500 series and the width of the wheel i bought first time and still using it is 6mm i think... the smaller the wheel diameter the better concave finish on the tooth. It takes between 3-5 minutes to sharpen a tooth depending on how blunt
