Features
- Aluminum Oxide Abrasive Grain—Tough, blocky aluminum oxide grains provide reliable cutting performance on carbon and alloy steels commonly found in toolroom applications.
- Vitrified Bond System—The rigid, porous vitrified bond offers excellent thermal stability and controlled grain release, supporting consistent cutting and long wheel life.
- Balanced Wheel Structure—Engineered for smooth operation on bench and pedestal grinders, reducing vibration and improving operator control.
- Controlled Porosity—Allows efficient chip clearance and coolant or airflow access, helping to manage heat and prevent loading.
- Wide Range of Grits and Grades—Available in coarse to fine grits and multiple hardness levels to suit sharpening, deburring, and light grinding needs.
Application
Application
- 1
Sharpening drills, chisels, punches, and general cutting tools.
- 2
Deburring and edge conditioning of machined steel components.
- 3
Light stock removal and surface cleanup on mild and alloy steels.
Recommendations
- Select the appropriate grit and grade based on the operation—coarser grits for stock removal, finer grits for sharpening and finishing.
- Dress the wheel regularly to maintain sharp cutting action and proper wheel geometry.
- Operate within recommended spindle speeds to ensure safe and efficient grinding.
- Use light, consistent pressure to avoid overheating tools and to extend wheel life.
- Ensure proper wheel mounting and balancing to minimize vibration and improve surface finish.
