Grinding Wheels - Silicon Carbide or Diamond Grinding Wheels
Grinding Wheels and Bench Grinder Wheels made of silicon carbide. These wheels are of the highest quality, are designed for commercial use, and will make your job easier and faster. Grinding wheels are available for hand grinders and bench grinders in several sizes and types. If you can not find the abrasive grinding wheel below you need, please call Arrow-Cut at 706-283-7115 and we will supply you with any type grinding wheel you need.
Grinding wheels are used in the stone industry and granite countertop industry for buffing and sanding granite countertops or granite monuments. Given the right roughness of grit, such a wheel can be used to quickly grind or polish stone or metal. Use of grinding wheels with a succeeding number of continually finer grit may even deliver a mirror finish on a sufficiently hard or reflective surface like granite countertops.
Grinding wheels or flap disks have bonding abrasives that consist of two parts: The cutting grains or abrasive mixture, and the bonding mixture that holds the abrasive in place on the grinding wheel. The kind of abrasive, ratio of abrasive to bonding and distribution of abrasive and bonding mixtures across the surface of the grinding wheel are what give the stone grinding wheel or stone polishing wheel its particular characteristics suitable to a given job. Some of the special diamond tipped grinding wheels have no bonding material, but have diamond segments welded onto the teeth of the wheel or drum for grinding concrete or stone. These are used for the very hardest stone like granite or marble.
The most common abrasive is aluminum oxide, usually used for grinding stone, carbon steel, hard bronze and other metals. For general grinding applications on steel and steel alloys, a combination of aluminum and zirconium oxides may be used called zirconia alumina. Silicon carbide may be used for nonferrous materials such as granite countertops or stone monuments. For use on particularly tough materials, wheels may be coated with diamond abrasive, which is the hardest naturally occurring substance known to man. Diamond is at the extreme end of the Mohs scale of hardness with a rating of 10, making it the perfect ultra-abrasive cutting material.
Grinding wheels have a 'grit size.' This is the average size of the grains of abrasive used in a particular grinding wheel. The higher the number, the finer the grain. Therefore, the job becomes smoother and more moderately paced.
