Would either of these make sense?

Mazanec, my curiosity got the best of me so I googled borazon since I am not familiar with it. I couldn't find any information on using it as a grinding grit in comparison to diamond except that they usually run the same price. I found information on borazon wheels and pins. Here's the info on the borazon wheels, if interested. (info beneath diamond wheels) www.diamondtooling.com/article_wheel_operation_01.html

its an interesting question
I used borazon cutting wheels for sharpening high speed metal I'm pretty sure that borazon is man made from carborundum
anyway the diamond wheels used to grind carbide wouldn't touch the the high speed steel jointer knives and such...
there is another name for that type of steel that eludes me right now stealite?
Diamond as a difficult time grinding metals why is that? must be the crystal structure? the metal gives way and load the wheel to quick?
why do aluminium oxide's work wheel grinding wheel structure it freaking rocket fuel science!
anyway I would think S/C or diamond grit (especially if they are the same price) is what you want to stay with in tumbling

Borazon is cubic boron nitride. Carborundum is silicon carbide. No, they are not the same.
