Specification

Description

Straight type diamond grinding wheels, including 1A1 and 1V1 profiles, are purpose-built for fluting and gashing operations in the manufacture of round cutting tools from tungsten carbide and other nonferrous materials. Diamond’s exceptional hardness and wear resistance provide superior grinding performance, while advanced bond systems ensure sharp cutting action, stable geometry, and long service life. These wheels enable precise flute and gash formation—critical for tool performance—while reducing cycle times and minimizing wheel dressing. Whether in new tool production or regrinding, straight type diamond wheels support high accuracy, repeatable results, and efficient processing of drills, end mills, and reamers.

Features

  • Diamond Abrasive Grain—Provides extreme hardness and durability, ensuring efficient cutting of carbide without premature wheel wear.
  • Straight Wheel Profiles (1A1, 1V1)—Enable versatility in flute and gash formation with consistent precision across tool geometries.
  • Resin and Hybrid Bond Systems—Engineered to balance aggressive stock removal, fine surface finish, and extended wheel life.
  • Excellent Thermal Conductivity—Supports cooler grinding, minimizing edge chipping and thermal damage to carbide tools.
  • High Dimensional Accuracy—Ensures repeatable tool geometry, critical for modern CNC tool production.

Application

Application

  • 1

    Fluting operations on solid carbide end mills to establish accurate cutting channels.

  • 2

    Gashing carbide drills for precise point geometry and chip evacuation.

  • 3

    Flute grinding of carbide reamers for smooth, consistent material removal.

Recommendations

  • Use copious coolant at the grinding zone to control temperature and extend wheel life.
  • Match grit size and bond hardness to flute depth, gash type, and required surface finish.
  • Dress wheels regularly to maintain sharp cutting edges and accurate profiles.
  • Operate within recommended speed and feed ranges for optimal balance of performance and durability.
  • Store wheels in a dry, temperature-stable environment to protect bond integrity.
