Depressed-center grinding wheels introduced

Saint-Gobain Abrasives has introduced Norton QUANTUM3™ (NQ3) depressed-center grinding wheels. They feature a proprietary grain, as well as a bond system that combines fillers and bonding agents, to help increase metal removal and wheel life.

According to the company, tests showed that the grinding wheel removed almost twice the amount of carbon steel in 5-min. intervals than competitive wheels.

Constructed using an iron-, sulfur-, and chlorine-free resin technology, the wheel offers uniform abrasive distribution. This bond is designed to retain the grains long enough during and after grain fractures.
