Innovative Products of America introduces its 3-in-1 diamond grinding wheels. Available in 2" and 3" diameters, the wheels are designed for use with high-speed die grinders. The grinding disc features a diamond abrasive edge that is said to last 20 to 60 times longer than traditional abrasives. In addition to maintaining size and shape, the diamond grinding wheels cut quickly and produce low sparks and odor, according to the company. The three-dimensional coating enables back cutting, gully grinding and bead finishing in difficult-to-reach areas.

What Is Single Point OD Grinding?
Two enabling technologies -- superabrasive wheels and high precision servo control -- come together to provide a contour grinding process that resembles an OD turning operation. For many medium volume OD grinding applications, this method may be a means to consolidate several manufacturing steps into a single setup.

Vertical Grinding Has Advantages
In vertical grinding, the workpiece is held upright in a rotary chuck with the grinding spindle overhead. This configuration can improve roundness, facilitate single-setup processing and prolong the life of the machine. Loading and unloading may gets easier, too. Workpieces with relatively large diameters and short lengths benefit the most from vertical grinding.
