Sorry Arvid, my bad. Aluminum Oxide.
Arvid, I have a 60 grit Alu Ox wheel and I really appreciate how it works on HSS. So much better than the greyish mystery abrasifs that come with the grinders.
I'm was planning on getting a 100 or 120 grit wheel to use as a "Finishing wheel" but maybe I should go right to 220?
