Philip,

I told of using the Green wheels to sharpen carbide tools (like Bison),
Kemper tools and for grinding the bottoms of pots. They are made for
grinding carbide and ceramics. They seem to last a long time. I have
had several students grind the bottom of pots and severe glaze drips on
as many as a dozen pieces each and we are still using the one we bought
in '96. The Green wheel gives a finer result on tools and pots.

If you have any specific questions let me know.
