[modeleng] Re: Plasplugs diamond wheel

Thanks for the reply Andy. I had thought these wheels ran much slower but
since my posting I have discovered that the machine that uses the wheel I
have actually runs at 4600RPM. Does your machine run the wheel in a water
bath or use a water spray system and if the former ,how deep is the wheel in
the water?
