Will try and take some pics later today as wonder if I'm needing news wheels. Had a quick look at trade me and discovered that for under $200 I could get a brand new one albeit lower wattage but with aluminium oxide wheels.

So folks, a source of dressing tools? And is it worth the trouble of changing wheels?

Pictures to come

If it's a decent grinder, it'll be worth changing wheels. Particularly because you can then put some decent wheels on it for sharpening - such as white AlOx instead of the standard grey/brown AlOx.
