Description
What Is A Grinding Wheel?
The pores (hollow spaces between adjacent abrasive grains and the bond) serve to provide clearance for coolant penetration and metal chips removed in the grinding process.
When the wheel is rotated at grinding speed and applied to the workpiece, the abrasive grains cut the material that is being ground, removing the material in small chips.
The increase in grinding forces causes either the abrasive to fracture, exposing new cutting edges, or fractures the bond bridges holding the abrasive grains. In the latter case fresh abrasive grains are exposed to cut the workpiece.
In normal vitrified grinding applications, the wheel has to be dressed. By varying the properties of the abrasive, the type of bond, the make-up of the wheel, it is possible to produce grinding wheels with a vast range of different grinding characteristics.
Why Use A Cup Grinding Wheel?

These are available in two forms; shape 06, where the two sides of a straight cup wheel are at a right angle to the base. With shape 11 tapered cup wheels the sides taper outwards, providing extra strength and therefore accepting higher lateral loads. Both types are primarily used in tool & cutter grinding.
Why Use A 39C Green Silicon Carbide Grinding Wheel?
39C is the highest purity silicon carbide abrasive. It is ideal for grinding cemented carbide cutting tools, fired ceramics and glass, where it provides advanced performance. Suitable for use on castings for heavy-duty edge grinding, 39C is very hard and durable with excellent edge-holding capability and a low wear rate for long product life.
