Specification

Description

Straight type aluminum oxide grinding wheels are a trusted solution for maintaining the cutting efficiency of saw blades through gumming and sharpening operations. Formulated with aluminum oxide abrasive, these wheels combine toughness with sharp cutting action, making them ideal for reshaping gullets, restoring tooth geometry, and refreshing worn edges. Their reliable bond structure ensures balance between free-cutting performance and wheel durability, reducing the risk of burning while maintaining consistent edge quality. Whether used in saw shops, maintenance facilities, or production environments, aluminum oxide straight wheels provide dependable results and long wheel life in sharpening both carbon steel and alloy saw blades.

Features

  • Aluminum Oxide Abrasive—Offers a strong combination of toughness and sharpness, ensuring efficient material removal without rapid wheel wear.
  • Straight Type (1) Wheel Design—Provides stability and access for both gullet shaping and tooth sharpening tasks.
  • Durable Resin Bonds—Optimized to hold abrasive grains firmly, delivering long life and consistent grinding action.
  • Balanced Grinding Action—Designed to minimize vibration, supporting smooth finishes on saw teeth and gullets.
  • Thermal Control—Abrasive grain and bond combination allows cooler grinding, reducing the risk of tooth overheating or temper loss.

Application

Application

  • 1

    Gumming circular saw blades to restore gullets and maintain proper chip clearance.

  • 2

    Sharpening band saw teeth to extend blade life and cutting efficiency.

  • 3

    Maintenance grinding of woodworking saws in mill or shop settings.

Recommendations

  • Always use adequate coolant when possible to extend wheel and blade life.
  • Select grit size based on the application—coarser grits for gumming and reshaping, finer grits for sharpening and finishing.
  • True and dress wheels regularly to maintain sharp cutting edges and prevent glazing.
  • Ensure the wheel is properly mounted and balanced to reduce vibration and improve finish quality.
  • Operate within recommended speed ranges to optimize performance and safety.
