Hi I have a bench grinder but I need to swap one of the wheels out for a aluminium oxide replacement to sharpen wood gouges on. Any body know were I can source one.

If you want something more suited to the job (bench grinders spin a bit fast for proper sharpening) then you can get whetstone grinders. Tormek are the go to ones but there are cheaper options too. They spin much slower and the stone sits in a water bath so much more suited to sharpening tools. They also have a tool rest and a clamp so that it can hold a fixed angle.
