Bond selection
The right bond for every insert material: resin, metal and vitrified bonds for grinding carbide, cermet, PCD and PCBN inserts.
Together with the abrasive and the grit size, the bond largely determines wheel performance and the efficiency of the grinding operation. Resin bonds are free-cutting and reduce grinding forces and thermal load, for an excellent surface quality on carbide. Metal bonds offer exceptional wear resistance and grit retention for carbide, cermet and PCBN. Vitrified bonds combine a rigid structure with a defined porosity for PCD and PCBN, where thermal stability and consistent edge quality are essential. With more than 80 standard bonds, and bonds adapted to a specific customer when needed, we find the right specification for your material and your machine.
The Bond selection catalogue
Everything you need to choose your bond in one document: the insert grinding overview by material (carbide, cermet, PCD and PCBN), the properties of our resin, metal, metal-vitrified and vitrified bonds compared, their typical applications and dressing tips, and the recommended cutting speeds for each bond type.
