Grinding Wheels Have Rounded Grain for Faster Cutting
Saint-Gobain Abrasives’ Norton Quantum3 RightCut Wheels boast a more rounded grain than the typical precision-shaped ceramic grains, which allows for faster cutting action and less vibration, also helping to reduce operator fatigue.
Saint-Gobain Abrasives will showcase the entire Norton Quantum3 (NQ3) grinding wheel portfolio at FABTECH 2018, including new RightCut Wheels, which add cut-off capability to the line that also includes depressed-center grinding wheels and combination wheels.
NQ3 RightCut Wheels boast a more rounded grain than the typical precision-shaped ceramic grains, the company says, which allows for faster cutting action and less vibration, also helping to reduce operator fatigue. The 0.045" wheel is well-suited for working on thinner materials or when the job must be done quickly, while the 1/16" wheel is better suited for cutting thicker materials.
The wheels are offered in four Type 01/41 and three Type 27/42 models and in 4-1/2", 5" and 6" variations.Related Content

Calculating Applied Media Force During Vibratory Finishing
What appear to be identically set-up vibratory bowls will finish identical loads of parts in varying time cycles. This paper offers a new technique to better predict what the operator will produce, by measuring the force applied to the parts. It is the efficiency of that force which controls the efficiency and speed of the refinement cycle.
