Whether you’re shaping knives, smoothing out large metal pieces, or working on detailed profiles, the right contact wheel size can make all the difference. Let’s break down why different sizes matter and how each one fits into your grinding arsenal.

Wheel Size Options:

• 8-Inch Diameter Contact Wheel: The 8-inch wheel is perfect for tight curves and detailed shaping. If you’re working on smaller blades, intricate metalwork, or need more control in confined spaces, this size gives you the precision you need without sacrificing performance. It’s great for jobs where maneuverability is key, making it a favorite for knifemakers who need to work on those tough-to-reach areas.
• 10-Inch Diameter Contact Wheel: The 10-inch wheel strikes a balance between control and surface area. It’s a solid choice if you’re doing a mix of fine detail work and heavier grinding. The extra size compared to the 8-inch wheel lets you cover more ground on larger projects while still giving you control over the finer details. If you need versatility, this is your go-to.
• 12-Inch Diameter Contact Wheel: When you move up to the 12-inch wheel, you’re looking at more powerful material removal. This size is ideal for heavier-duty grinding and working on larger, thicker pieces of metal. You’ll get a smoother, more consistent curve when shaping bigger workpieces, and it’s especially handy when you need to tackle large stock removal without compromising on precision.
• 14-Inch Diameter Contact Wheel: The 14-inch wheel is built for serious grinding power. If you’re working on big projects, like large metal fabrications or long blades, this wheel covers a lot of surface area quickly, helping you remove material faster and shape large curves with ease. It’s perfect when you need efficiency and aren’t working on delicate or intricate details.
