This coming Spring we will offer for sale a 9 micron diamond wheel as an option for the Ez-Vex. We have been testing the 9 micron here at the Clipper Shack to make sure it will be as durable as the 30 and 15 micron diamond wheels that we currently use.
So far the Testing process for the 9 micron diamond wheel look VERY promising. We also sent a 9 micron wheel to one of our customers in MA who is a very experienced sharpener and owns Ez-Vex Sharpener #5.
We called Frank to check on his 9 micron wheel and he said it is holding great. The wheel is showing no wear at all.
One of the Big Questions most sharpeners (experienced or novice) ask us is "how long do the diamond wheels last" That's a great question.
While doing research and development we have wheels that are 20 months, 18 months old and still show no signs of real wear. Our customers have had many of their machines for 8 months or longer and none of them have needed to replace their wheels.
Remember, you always remove nicks or correct damaged shears with the 30 micron wheel. The 15 and (soon to be ) the 9 micron are meant for sharpening only and NOT for nick removal or damage corrections.
That is the Big reason the 30 micron is the Diamond Wheel that comes with the Basic Unit.
