I bought a new grinder and put CBN wheels on it from Woodturners Wonders (these wheels were on a different grinder). Anyway, I need a few of the machined 5/8" washers they sell, but they're out of stock for a while. These are 1/8" thick aluminum and machined to be truly flat. Is anyone aware of another source for them? If not I'll just wait for WTW to restock. In the meantime I bought some machine (not machined) bushings I'm using, but they aren't perfect.

If you're talking about this you may have to wait.

 

I see Rockler has them but they're out of them too.

No. I actually already have them, they were in use on the other grinder. My problem now is that the new arbor washers won't work with the CDN wheel and I need to space them about 1/4" away from the shoulder of the arbor (so I can use the guards to contain some of the dust).
