In the glass industry, such as architectural glass, photo glass, automotive glass and so on. Grinding is very important, such as the grinding the edge of the glass.

 

What kind of grinding wheel is suitable for grinding glass?

Grinding Wheel consists of Abrasive and Bond. Mix them in different ways are suitable for grinding different workpiece. For Glass, According to the grinding industry’s perennial experiment and experience, Diamond Abrasive and Metal bond are more suitable for grinding them (some diamond resin bonded grinding wheel are also suitable for grinding glass.)  

 

Ps: Abrasive include: Diamond, CBN, Alumina, silicon carbide, and so on. (Diamond and CBN belong to superhard materals.) Different abrasive materials have different characteristics, suitable for grinding different products.

Bond include: Resin, Metal, Ceramic, electroplate, etc. The characteristics of each bond are also different.

 

Excellent Diamond Metal grinding wheel should meet the following requirements:

1. Long using life without affecting the efficiency, reduce the frequency of the replacement wheel.

2. Fast removing ability of the glass uneven edges.

3. Good sharpness, no edge chipping while grinding

4. Smooth glass edge after processing.

 

Diamond Metal Bond grinding wheel can meet the above requirements. 

 

Besides the Abrasive and Bond of the Diamond metal grinding wheel, We also need to pay attachment to the grain size and Shape of the grinding wheel.

Grain Size: it means the size of the abrasive grain. The larger Grain Size refer to good efficiency; while, it also cause shorter using life and worse surface finish. We have to according to our actual situation to choose the appropriate size. 

Shape: There are also many types of diamond metal grinding wheel shapes in the glass industry, for example:

Different shapes are suitable for different processing methods and grinders. So in addition to some very regular diamond metal grinding wheels, we have to quote and produce based on the customer’s requirements. In this way, we can avoid misunderstanding.

 

In the end, we’d like to sharing you some regular size of the diamond metal grinding wheel:
