According to the abrasive it can be divided into ordinary abrasive (corundum and silicon carbide, etc.) grinding wheel and super-hard abrasive (natural/synthetic diamond and cubic Boron nitride) grinding wheel;
According to the shape, it can be divided into a flat grinding wheel, beveled grinding wheel, cylinder grinding wheel, cup grinding wheel, disc grinding wheel, etc. According to the binder, it can be divided into the ceramic wheel, resin wheel, vitrified wheel, rubber wheel, metal wheel, Hybrid wheel, and so on. The characteristic parameters of grinding wheels mainly include abrasive, particle size, hardness, binder, shape, size, and so on. Click for different types of abrasive wheels.
Since the grinding wheel usually works at high speed, meanwhile the rotation test (to ensure that the grinding wheel will not break at the highest working speed) and static balance test (to prevent machine vibration during work) should be carried out before use. Diamond grinding wheel manufacturer E-grind suggested that dressing the grinding wheel after a certain period of use to restore its grinding performance and correct geometry.
