Flute Grinding Wheels for Cutting Tool Manufacturing

Good

CUMI Flute grinding wheels are specially engineered high-density (near-zero porosity), resin-bonded wheels that ensure that the form is generated with utmost precision and finesse. These wheels truly are a testament to the expertise that CUMI has built over the years. Being a high depth of cut, form-generating grinding process, flute grinding operations are at high speeds and remove material at rates comparable to machining processes rather than grinding. A combination of peripheral and surface grinding actions, the depth of cut, width of cut, form retention, and surface finish are crucial parameters.

Product Description

Flute Grinding Wheels for Cutting Tool Manufacturing

Flute grinding is a high-depth, form-generating grinding process that operates at high speeds and removes material at rates comparable to machining. In such demanding operations, parameters such as depth of cut, width of cut, form accuracy, and surface finish play a critical role in determining cutting tool performance.

CUMI flute grinding wheels are specially engineered to meet these requirements in cutting tool manufacturing. Manufactured using high-density, near-zero porosity resin-bonded structures, these wheels deliver exceptional form retention and dimensional accuracy during flute generation. The combination of peripheral and surface grinding action ensures consistent flute geometry with a fine surface finish across production runs.

Designed for high-speed grinding environments, these wheels maintain stability and precision even under aggressive material removal conditions. The advanced grain and bond technology reflects CUMI’s long-standing expertise in tool grinding applications, making these flute grinding wheels a reliable choice for producing high-quality cutting tools with repeatable performance.
