Cubic Boron Nitride Grinding
The Cubic Boron Nitride Grinding wheel has many advantages over the average grinding wheel. It works best on a slower rotating bench grinder. The CBN cuts without much heat so the danger of burning and possible softening your tool is minimised.
The CBN surface does not load up with metal so cleaning is eradicated. Also therefore no wear on the wheel so dressing require and all settings for the diameter of the wheel remain constant.
Very little sparks and dust eliminates the need for a high powered dust collection unit.
The wheels are more expensive than normally used wheels, but with the CBN coating will last for a very long time its price is quickly atomised.
