FAQs

Abrasive wheels are wheels, cones or cups for saws that have abrasive particles like grit that are bonded with either inorganic or organic substances like resin.

These bonds are cured at low temperatures. They’re shock-resistant, self-dressing, and tough. These materials are more suited to applications that don’t need a lot of precision such as cutting off or fettling.

Organic bonding substances are used for handheld and portable tools and machines. Inorganic bonding substances are usually used for grinding applications that require precision. These have a strong, hard, yet brittle structure and hold their shape. Inorganic bonds require a lot of heat for curing and are furnace-fired.
