The wheel on my bench grinder that I use to debur the edges of my aluminum ribs, formers, sheets is wearing out. I can’t think of the name of that wheel nor grit to search for. I suspect Vans sells them. Any thoughts how to search for another wheel?

NOTE : one of the wheels available is aluminum oxide. The other is SILICON CARBIDE. You can research using silicon carbide on aircraft aluminum and you will find some are concerned that the dissimilar metal particles can cause corrosion in the aluminum. I opted for aluminum oxide after reading about it.
