100 x 45 x 10.5ah Diamond Cup Wheel, Resin/Metal, J40

The latest manufacturing technologies are utilized to build speed, quality finish and long life into all of our diamond wheels.  The cutting surface of a diamond wheel is composed of diamond particles impregnated into a bonding matrix.  This bonding matrix is the one variable that most greatly influences the cutting characteristics of any diamond wheel.  The flat glass industry employs two types of basic bonds: metal and resin.

Metal bonded diamond wheels utilize bronze, iron and steel fillers to generate free cutting action.  It has exceptional durability and is normally used in primary grinding stations where high stock removal is required.

Resin bonded wheels are constructed from a thermo-set phenolic or high temperature resin.  Resin bonds are readily formed, trued and are free cutting and typically used in secondary (pre-polish) grinding stations.  The function at these positions is to remove sub-surface damage and to re-orient the scratch pattern from the metal bond wheels, and thereby to present a blended surface to the polishing section.
