HOW TO USE RESIN BOND MOUNTED POINTS FOR GRINDING


Grinding applications require mounted points that have a perfect balance in terms of chip performance, intended surface finish and service life. In foundries and mold forming operations, the use of mounted points on straight grinders and flexible shafts is often the only method of getting to hard-to-reach parts on workpieces and simultaneously improving the surface.

For best mounted point performance, always run the mounted point at the maximum allowable speed according to AnSI B7.1.
