The Key To Successful Segment Grinding

The key to successful segment grinding is a two-sided. First, the use of the correct specification for the job; and secondly, the correct operating procedure. It is important to utilize a special segment bond formulation to allow for improved chip clearance, especially in heavy rough-grinding operations.

Recommendations For Reducing Grinding Costs Per Piece:

Select abrasive type best suited to material being ground.
Use coarse grit sizes such as 24 or 30 grit whenever possible - Use sparkout to obtain required finish.
Select the hardest grade that will not burn the workpiece or cause machine power overload.
Select softer grade for general purpose applications or to grind a wide variety of materials.
Select the highest maximum downfeed that will not burn the workpiece, prematurely break down the segment, or cause machine power overload.
