Recommendation? Scotchbrite bench grinder mop wheel

[Skiller1nc]

I have been trying to find a scotchbrite wheel for my bench grinder for a long time. Scotchbrite/3m product names and all are just impossible to decipher. I have seen them used before I think at one point alec steel was using them, they were referenced on the knifetalk podcast as well. They are like a certain diameter and 2-4ish inches wide. They are soft-looking (not the hard rubber deburring wheels) and they don't look like the combo wheels that have flap sandpaper and scotchbrite mixed. From what I have seen they are used to get a vertical scratch pattern and a nice soft finish on things like guards. This is what I found so far, It is a bit pricy to just gamble on it being what I am looking for but I think it is. Can anyone confirm or further point me in the right direction?

You don't need to stick the edge into the wheel. Do it edge away from the rotation.

Clamp/screw the blade to a board.

Firstly thanks for this outline. It seems to have worked well, with a triumphant sparkle and sharpness.
