I had one, I gave it away.

Spend the additional $60 and get the oregon 511A clone....you will be happier.

I haven't had much luck finding wheels for my grinder, I'll try Baileys next. I'm not sure of the outside diameter since they're worn down but the inside is 7/8.

I looked it up a few minutes ago and found out I have an Efco sharpener, FL136 and have found a site that sells the wheels. I'm still kinda in the dark because they have vitrified and resonoid wheels, how do you tell the difference and what is best? They're not much different in price.

Those Efco are very good.
Get a CBN wheel. End of dressing and shaping the wheel.
Just keep it clean.

Your Efco likely takes the same wheels as the very popular Oregon 511 type grinders, and should be widely available.

I started a whole thread on vitreous vs resinoid wheels:

Thanks for starting the other post, at least I now know the difference. I have a place about 2 miles from me that probably sells them, I'll check him and see if he sells them.

I tried to use a grinder, but found this type of sharpener so much easier to use. It takes almost all the guess work out of sharpening.

Everyone has to find something that works for them: file, guide, grinder, etc. Each has advantages and disadvantages.
