Hi, all. I am reassembling my old HP 6” combo unit after much yanking and cleaning, and have had the 1.25” spacer portion that was between the 2 wheels turned down to the same 1” as the rest of the arbor. The plan is to mount 1 or 2 more diamond wheels for a total of 3 or 4 to use before getting to the expando drum at the end. the question is—how close can the wheels be to each other before grit cross contamination is an issue, if it would be at all. I can get three 1.5” wheels on with 3/4” between or four 1” wheels or some combination. Thanks in advance for your input, Biggs (Larry)

I am of the school of thought that cross contamination was a thing with SiC, but is extremely unlikely with modern diamond wheels.
The real issue with wheels placed close together is having enough room to cut larger cabs without touching the neighboring wheels and the edges of the machine spray guards, IMO my Genie has them too close for a lot of the things I want to be able to easily do.

Thanks, what’s the spacing on your Genie?

Thanks, what’s the spacing on your Genie? 3/4 inch between the wheels.
