94AB - Advanced grain technology used in Centerless and Cylindrical grinding wheels. This grain can be used to grind steels in either soft or hard state. GC - Green Silicon Carbide - Quickly grinds non-ferrous metals and sharpens tungsten carbide tools. Used on non-ferrous materials such as titanium and cemented carbide.
Three Basic types of Centerless Grinding
Grinding wheels for centerless grinding range in size from 12" to 24" in diameter, and up to 34" in thickness. They are made with the same vitrified bonds as those used in cylindrical wheels. Through Feed - Most commonly used centerless grinding where straight cylindrical parts are passed from the entrance on the machine, through, and out of the exit side.
In-Feed (Plunge) - Used on part with a shape that does not allow axial movement. Frequently, several diameters are ground at once by using a specially formed wheel face, or by mounting two or more wheels on the same spindle.
End-Feed - For producing or finishing a taper in the workpiece. The parts are fed in the entrance side of the machine up to a fixed end point.
