What is an Abrasive Wheel?

An Abrasive Wheel is an expendable wheel that is composed of an abrasive compound used for various grinding (abrasive cutting) and abrasive machining operations. Grinding Wheels are used on grinding machines and are made from a matrix of abrasive particles pressed and bonded together to form a solid circular shape.

A wheel, cylinder, abrasive wheel or cone consists of abrasive particles held together by a resin or vitrified bond;

  • A resin bond is a resin-based bond commonly used in portable abrasive cutting and grinding abrasive wheels
  • A vitrified bond is a bond that uses ceramic glass like material which is fired or cured at high temperatures and are used in bench wheels and surface grinding

Abrasive wheels also incorporate any wheel, abrasive wheel or saw, to any surface of which is attached a rim or segments consisting of diamond abrasive particles, like diamond blades used for cutting concrete, asphalt, marble, etc, which is, or is intended to be, power-driven, and is for use in any grinding or cutting operations for example cutting and grinding abrasive wheels used on angle grinders.
