One thing to note, the bearings are 6206 size, which is 2.44" OD with an axle size of 1.181", just under the 5/4" they mention. I'd be ok with 1" axle, but that is a tad large, when you drill the hole thru 1-1/2" tool arm you're not going to have much metal on outside.

I ordered this smooth 12" wheel with 6202 bearings installed - https://goo.gl/o9AMCd but I'm sure if you look around they will have the Serrated wheel also. There have been some good reports from folks using these wheels. I just hope my wheel is good.

Check out AMK Grinders. He sells his contact wheels for not much more than the one you listed. I bought 2 at Blade this year and just started using them on Sunday.
