an ah ha moment

I was grinding something tonight and the wheel on the 4 1/2 grinder was
not true, it was bouncing around like crazy.. I didn't think I could
true a wheel, but I took my diamond dresser for a bench grinder and
trued the fiber impregnated wheel. It worked great.. I didn't think the
impregnated wheels could be trued, but it was worth a try since I didn't
have a new wheel available.

Hope that helps someone.

Huh - I never heard of an angle grinder disk getting out of true. Good
discovery (truing it with your diamond dresser).

But according to Shoe in the comics this morning an Ah Ha moment is
remembering that you have a new carton of ice cream in the freezer.
