The 3M Diamond Polyimide Wheel 665PL is used in the production and sharpening of carbide cutting tools. This general purpose wheel is designed to give you the best balance of form retention and the free-cut rate when used with water based lubricants.

The Standard Abrasives Aluminum Oxide Buff and Blend Roll combines nylon strands and aluminum oxide with a resin bond, resulting in an open web that is responsive and durable enough for deburring, cleaning, blending and finishing. Available in a versatile range of grades and sizes, you can choose the right roll for your application.

3M Vitrified Grinding Wheels 92VA are the vitrified bonded grinding wheels featuring 30% sintered corundum Grains for conventional grinding operations like centreless grinding, gear grinding, cylindrical or surface grinding.

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.
