hardfacing greenteeth shanks

[Breezeblock]

we have been doing a fair bit of grinding in stony ground and the front of the shanks have been starting to wear quite a bit so i decided to put hardfacing on the nose of the shank to stop them wearing so much and also managed to sort out sharpening the cutters as well, the grinding wheel i got off ebay cost about £14 and it works pretty good I've done about 40 sharpens and there is very little wear on the grit

Is it a green wheel ? if it is I am sure you are aware of the dust issues, although it looks nicely enclosed anyway

no aluminium mounted diamond with an enclosed box with the inside coated in mobiltac grease to catch all the dust makes a lot of difference in the shop
