[QUOTE="Piep, post: 115959, member: 3017"] Yeah, I've seen this and not just on the resin bonded wheels. We have new sintered wheels at the club to replace the old 80/100 grit wheels. The 180/220 were not replaced and are (very very) well worn in so they weren't up to the task of getting the deep scratches of the new wheels out. It took a few weeks, but it's a lot better now. I only ruined one stone on it and after that used them only to grind the general shape and used the old carborundum wheels for doming before moving to the 180/220. We've done a few weeks of hard stone (agate, pet woods) shaping on them and they are great now. [/QUOTE]
