Has anyone out there ever tried "rebuilding" the diamond
rim of their sharpening wheel?  Did it work?

I have one to do of my own and would like to gather a few
worn out test subjects to try as well.

Phil,

Is there some kind of diamond dust epoxy or something?  You must know something I don't about diamond wheels.

When I accidentally damaged the wheel for the sharpener for my
Peterson, I realized that the compound on it was basically just a
cast layer of some sort of mix.  I am still using the damaged wheel
which is missing about 1/3 of its "stuff."  I am running out of time on it.

Diamond powder and Boron Nitride are available.
Epoxies and polyester resins of many types are available.

Obviously one could chip away and replace the diamond compound
on these very expensive wheels.  With the cost of these wheels being
so high, it's worth an experiment or two.  Of course, getting the right
mix of abrasive, binder and fillers is the problem.
