| Symbols |
Characteristics |
|
|
|
Most
common bond for precision grinding porosity and strength.
Wheels made with this bond give high stock removal and their
rigidity helps to attain high precision. Not affected by
water, acid, oils or ordinary teperature variations. |
|
|
|
|
Used
for wheels in fabrications shops, foundries, billet shops,
sharpening and gumming saws, and in many precision. These
wheels excell in rapid stock removal as well as in
applications requiring better finishes. This bond is also
restricted to reinforced resinoid |
|
|
|
|
Used
for most centerless feed wheels, precision ball race
grinding wheels, used where finish is important and for
cut-off wheels where burr and burn must be held to a
minimum. |

The KINIK
symbol designates a variation or modification of bond
and other characteristics of the wheel. |
