    As per title guys, where can i purchase some good quality valve grinding and valve seat grinding wheels? 99% of google search leads to US webpages. I would prefer something like black and decker but i'm considering everything.

    The kind of wheel i'm looking for: http://www.formtechservices.com/formtechservices.com/Sharpening.html

    -The last pic in that page

    For the smaller ones that are for seat grinding the size i want is 9/16".

    I've got the size for the bigger wheel as well but let me know where i can find some first.

    I would msg Mart but my inbox is full [xx(]


    Any help appreciated

    Thanks

    When I can I try and use norton or saint goblin grinding wheels and sundries, they're spot on and you can get nearly any grade out there. These i'd use for valves themselves in a valve grinding jig.
    But for seats, you're looking at neway seat cutters for home/hand use, or they now do them with attachments to fit in a mill. Or then there's the likes of serdi machines. You won't get a grinding wheel for seats. Due to the inherent nature of a grinding stone that really needs to be worked across its whole face, a stone for cutting seats would wear unevenly and leave you with seats that are all shapes.
