How To Order

When ordering KINIK standard grinding wheels, specify your selection in this order:

1. Wheel Shape and Face
2. Dimensions
    (1) Diameter (D)
    (2) Thickness (T)
    (3) Hole Size (H)
3. Wheel Specifications
    (1) Abrasive
    (2) Grit Size
    (3) Grade
    (4) Bond
4. Quantity
Note : Wheels are available in both metric and imperial dimensions.
Standard Wheel Markings

For Clarify as well as to avoid mistakes in wheel selection, a standard designation of wheel specification was developed and was inscribed by ISO in 1965. Standards such as CNS of the R.O.C., JIS of Japan, ANSI of U.S.A and DIN of West Gremany all employ this uniform standard.

A typical wheel marking includes the following information :

 

Abrasives Bond Type
Symbols Characteristics
A
Regular alumunium oxide, hard and tough.
10A

The premium quality of aluminum oxide.

WA, 38A

White aluminum oxide, hard and brittle.

FA, 57A
Semi-friable, aluminum oxide.
32A

Strong sharp monocrystaline aluminum oxide.

PA
Pink aluminum oxide.
RA

Ruby aluminum oxide, hard and less brittle than PA.

PSA
Special pink abrasive.
FSA
Special Semi-friable aluminum oxide.
AZ

A modified high zirconia aluminum oxide.

C
Black silicon carbide.
GC
Green silicon carbide.
KG
Micro-crystalline abrasive used primarily for precision grinding of difficult-to-grind steels and alloys
Symbols Characteristics
V
(Vitrified)

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.

B
(Resinoid)

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

R
(Rubber)

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.

Mg
(Magnesia
Oxychloride)

A notable bond used for cutlery or particularly thin workpieces, marble surface grinding and superfinishing.

Note :

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

Note :

Above abrasives may be used in combination to generate characteristics for particular applications.

Abrasives :

Grade indicates the relative strength of the bond which holds the abrasive grains in place.
