DP is out of my price range and Jadecarver 6 inch wheels are only steel core. Any recommendations? Thanks.

I believe these guys on ebay are the same as Baltic-Abrasives.
I have an 80 grit plastic rim and I am VERY happy with it.

Thanks. I looked at the BA topic and Ebay but couldn't make the connection.

I have also heard good reports on the Baltic wheels, I suspect my next big purchase will be from them.

I ordered one and the price is what I was looking for. I mounted my 60 grit crystalring on my new arbor and it was too chippy. The 185 crystalring wasn't aggressive enough to do 80 work. My DP 80 has some life left and will be okay until the Top arrives.

My wheel made it to Chicago and hopefully I can start using it in the middle of the week. My DP 80 is still serviceable but I love cutting on a new 80.

I mounted mine on a separate arbor and have used it conjunction with my old 80 grit. It started out chippy and then smoothed out. I haven't used it a lot but first impression is that is at least as good as a Diamond Pacific Galaxy.

I did just pick up a 110 grit sintered metal wheel for $60.00 brand new though.
