resurfacing a horizonal wet stone...?

[redneckmedic]

I have this set up and actually have two questions...

I would like your opinion on how to resurface and true the wet wheel.

I have searched everywhere for a replacement white wheel, and can't find one, as i read on the parts page both stones are discontinued....anyone got a lead on a good parts replacement website?

Thx RNM

Pull the wheel and lap it.

I'd run a diamond wheel dresser across it and get back to sharpening.

RNM, if you don't have a diamond dressing tool you can get a sheet of silicon carbide wet/dry sand paper and a piece of 1/4" glass or something very flat. If it is real bad start with 80 grit paper if it is not to bad you can use 120 grit. If you use glass you can just wet the back of the paper and it will stick enough, otherwise use a spray adhesive.

Take a pencil and make crosshatches on the stone wet the paper and start moving in small circles, back and forth, etc. when the pencil marks are gone you Are good to go.
