•Exceedingly strong, sharp monocrystalline aluminum oxide grain, often used in precision production medium to heavy stock removal applications •VBEP is a porous vitrified bond, especially recommended for toolroom and surface grinding on medium to wide areas of contact •This porous bond increases chip clearance and maximizes coolant flow, reduces loading and is cool cutting in heat-sensitive applications •Particularly suited for grinding all kinds of tool steels, including tough vanadium alloy steels, with moderate to heavy feed rates •Outstanding form holding •Used on surface, cylindrical, and tool and cutter grinders, Norton precision form holding vitrified toolroom wheels maximize your productivity. Available in latest generation ceramic alumina, aluminum oxide, and silicon carbide for every ferrous and nonferrous MRO, small job shop, and production operation.
