Special resins and the addition of innovative additives lend these grinding wheels great flexibility with simultaneously high edge stability. These wheels are therefore suitable for web thinning, clearance angle grinding, and relief grinding when manufacturing tools as well as when resharpening them. They are especially suitable for sharpening worn tools on high performance machines

3M Cubitron II Vitrified Grinding Wheels 92VC are the vitrified bonded grinding wheels containing 30% precision shaped grains with geometrically defined cutting edges for conventional precision grinding applications.

3M Vitrified Grinding Wheels 91VB are the vitrified bonded wheels for optimising roughing and finishing process steps while grinding gear parts.

The 3M Cut-Off Wheel 654BK is a general purpose cut-off wheel for carbide tool manufacturing. With a highly concentrated diamond abrasive mineral, solid construction and a steel core, it is commonly used for trimming tool blanks on carbides, high speed steels and hard metals.

Flutes are the helical or straight grooves in the body of the tool. This provides a pathway to permit the removal of chips, and to allow coolants to reach the cutting surface.

3M Cut-Off Wheel 664BL is used to trim carbide cutting tool blanks to length for the cutting tool manufacturing industry.

Standard Abrasives GP Plus Bun can be converted into desired widths of convolute wheels for deburring, blending, finishing, polishing and cleaning applications that will not break edges or remove metal, these wheels are used on automated equipment, straight shaft stationary and portable tools and feed-through machines.

The 3M Resin Bond Diamond Super Abrasive Wheel 637BI is a fast, free-cutting wheel developed to grind Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD), carbide, thermal spray coatings and other hard-to-grind materials. Its unique resin bond construction is designed to reduce or eliminate wheel conditioning altogether to simplify and improve processes and promote higher throughput.

3M CBN Wheel 164PK is used to generate the flute which is the helical or straight groove in the body of the cutting tools made of tool steel and high speed steel. This polyimide bonded wheel offers high cut rates, good form retention, and increased thermal stability during higher temperature grinding operations.

3M CBN Polyimide Wheel 164PL is used for grinding primary and secondary relief angles on cutting tools made of tool steel and high speed steel. This general purpose wheel offers high cut rates, increased form holding, and increased thermal stability during higher temperature grinding operations.

3M Resin CBN Grinding Wheel 1CBB is the series of face and cup grinding wheels featuring a phenolic resin bond and a CBN grit system, which is suitable for use with oil and emulsion lubricants.
