Who makes a good grinding stone?

[The Rusty Gear]

I've been using my 8" bench grinder quite a bit lately and I've noticed the wheel that came with it is wearing quickly. I was about to buy a cheap replacement at the local import tool store, but from hanging out here too much, I've decided to seek out a better quality stone . . . . Who makes 'em and who sells 'em?

Thanks!

Norton would be a good brand to search for

+1 and get it from a machine/ industrial supply as you will have more choice in grits.

Norton was the only Brand I'd heard of. I wasn't sure if they were good or not! Thanks!

Carborundum? Isn't that made in Brazil? I've seen Carborundum angle grinder disks for very cheap at Princess Auto. I had no idea they were of decent quality. Too bad they only had the angle grinder discs and no bench grinder ones.

The 8" wheels we have used at work say USA on them, I’m sure like most companies they manufacture products in different countries.
