Got this broken stone wheel... Worth using or throw away?

[MrWrencher823]

Hello everyone, today at work someone broke a brand new trumaxx 60 grit aluminum oxide stone wheel. Could I maybe use it as a knife sharpener or is it just junk and I'm becoming a hoarder? Haha. Thanks

60 grit would probably be way too coarse for knife sharpening. I think it's garbage.

If the sides are flat it would be useful for "stoning" metal. I use a knife stone or small 1/2" india stones but that would work. Best way ever to remove high spots on metal surfaces.

Trash can weight.

Maybe you could use it for landscaping/yard art.

you could give your pet elephant a pedicure.

Good for landfill.

As long as you're not going to put it in a power grinder, should be okay for axes and other rough cutting tools. 60 grit is too coarse for good knives but okay for machetes.
