I'm trying to grind some 1" ID brass sleeves, about 2" long that are chrome plated.
The chrome varies quite a bit in thickness (couple thou) so I'm looking for a wheel to rough them in fairly quickly. So far I've tried AO 19A46-K5VG (46 grit) and 32A60-KVBE (60 grit) Norton wheels but they cut only about 1/2 thou and want a re-dress.
Did some searching and see guys recommending Norton Norton SGB 60 J, also CBN. Is diamond any good for chrome? Any other recommendations?
The only small Norton SGB I found were these:
13 x 13 mm Norton SGB 60 J VS3 Grinding Wheel
Ideally I'd like a straight type 1 wheel to fit my arbor, 3/4 x 1/4 x 1/4 hole would be perfect, like these:
Type B1A1 Tools (CBN on the Periphery) | Store
Was thinking to use a 90 grit white AO wheel for finishing.
I'm just using an NSK grinder on a lathe so not the most rigid setup:
