Action Superabrasive

Resin bond Diamond & CBN grinding wheels are the most commonly used SuperAbrasive product currently consumed. Resin bond product, as the names describes is a combination of resins and fillers pressed under heat and pressure that are easily dressed to angle forms, straight forms, and special radius forms. Very Fine finish can be achieved using resin bond products. Resin Bond CBN Grinding Wheels Used for grinding most all grades of steel, but must have a hardness of 45Rc or above to be ground effectively with CBN. There are cases that soft steels are ground with CBN but many different factors will have to be addressed. HSS, A series, T series and most stainless steels are ground effectively and profitably with CBN resin bond wheels. Resin Bond Diamond Wheels Used in the carbide cutting tool industry, the ceramics industry, glass industry, quarts industry, thermal spray industry and many other specialty materials.

Electroplated wheels are “Unique” as the process itself. They are single layered wheels which the abrasive is held together by a thin layer of nickel that is controlled during the plating process. The key benefit is for applications that require high removal rate for hard materials and products that require critical form without the need to re-dress. Major advantage is the ability to strip and re-plate with a saving of up to 30% compared to ordering a new electroplated wheel and reducing turn- around time.

Vitrified is the bond of choice for Aluminum Oxide and silicon carbide abrasives but conventional abrasives differ from diamond and CBN in their manufacturing techniques both in construction and application. The key benefit to vitrified bonds is controlling deflection which lies in producing high material removal rate at lower cutting forces which can’t be achieved with any other bond system. The vitrification process actually produces a wheel made of glass which is brittle and performs well in uninterrupted cuts. Because of porosity, the bond system can be modified to meet customer specific manufacturing requirements.

Center-less grinding is a process that grinds the surface of a turned part or round bar without the need to support the work piece on centers. We specialize in Center-less Wheels up to 24’’ diameter and up to 24” wide in Single and Multi-grit bands on Bakelite core. Depths up to and including 2” (50mm) available for through feeding, plunge and oscillation accommodating both short and long rod manufacture. The center-less grinding wheel is able to perform multi-task either by plunge or through-feed grinding.
