CBN Wheel Maintenance

[Chainsaw Pete]

I'm planning to buy a CBN wheel for my grinder - probably a Baltic Abrasives wheel which has been mentioned in other threads.

What do you do to maintain the wheel? What kind of stone do you use to dress the wheel when it clogs? Do you use one wheel to sharpen 3/8 and .325 pitch chains or do you use different wheels? What thickness wheel do you use for which chains?

There are special, white, cleaning sticks made for CBN wheels. Different than the silicon carbide bricks used to dress conventional, vitrified wheels.

The place that you buy your wheels from should be able to supply one. Otherwise, they are available online.

This is one example:
