Norton 32AC Centerless Wheels are made from blended aluminum oxide and
silicon carbide in a resinoid bond making them ideal when one wheel is
used to grind several different materials from high to low tensile
strengths.
Norton 57A Centerless Wheels are made using strong, blocky-shaped
aluminum oxide in a vitrified bond. This versatile/durable abrasive is
well suited for general purpose applications, featuring high “G” ratios
(metal removed/wheel wear). The superior vitrified bond system offers
longer wheel life, with excellent form holding.
Norton 64A Centerless Wheels feature versatile aluminum oxide abrasive
blend in a vitrified bond, engineered to grind a variety of materials at
an economical price. The specially blended aluminum oxide abrasive
coupled with a superior vitrified bond will maintain high grinding rates
without wheel breakdown.
Norton Gemini Non-stock Centerless Wheels are versatile, general purpose
wheels, offering consistent performance at an economical initial price.
They are an ideal wheel choice when a broad range of tool steel parts
are ground on one machine.
Centerless grinding is a production process that produces extremely
close tolerances on metal cylindrical forms or parts. Centerless
grinding is used on a wide variety of workpieces. The key components in
the process are the grinding wheel, the work rest blade (used to support
the work), and the regulating or “feed” wheel (the drive mechanism for
the workpiece).
