Hi all just need some input on possibly using a cbn wheel on a 6" pedestal grinder , I have been grinding carbide drill using a very soft grade grinding wheel and it does the trick but I loose too much wheel and have to redress often and was wondering if it would be a good idea to try a CBN wheel I know they are expensive but the drills I am grinding are also , or if there is a good drill grinding machine out there that doesn't break the bank book , any input I would be grateful .

First of all, if you are going to be grinding carbide, you need a diamond wheel. I might recommend a plated diamond wheel. CBN is used for >50Rc steels not carbide.
