Q: Can I use a Diamond wheel on steel?
A: No. It is not recommended to use Diamond wheels on steel, or any ferrous material. Diamond wheels are used primarily on Carbide, Ceramics, Refractories and Glass. We recommend using CBN wheels for any ferrous materials.
Q: Is a C75 wheel softer than a C100 wheel?
A: This can be true, but there are many other considerations to be made when determining bond hardness. Discuss your project with one of our Application Engineers for the best bond recommendation. Ask about our Bond Development Program
Q: Will a D120 grit cut more aggressively than a D150 grit?
A: Generally this is true, but there are many other considerations to be made when determining wheel aggressiveness. Discuss your project with one of our Application Engineers for the best bond recommendation. Ask about our Bond Development Program
Q: Is there a “one size fits all” type bond that will work on many applications?
A: Depending on the application, there will be a sacrifice made if trying to use one wheel for multiple applications. The wheel may not cut as aggressively, or may leave a poor finish. Discuss your projects with one of our Application Engineers for the best bond recommendation. Ask about our Bond Development Program
Q: Can Resin Bond wheels have a new diamond section applied to an old core?
A: It is more cost effective to discard the old wheel core than to try to re-use the old one
