What is a rubber grinding stone? [Basic knowledge collection being presented]

Due to the absence of pores, there are fewer abrasive particles and chips! It is possible to perform grinding and polishing simultaneously.

A rubber grinding wheel is a type of grinding wheel that uses rubber as a bonding agent for the abrasive particles. Unlike conventional grinding wheels, which require two types of wheels for cutting and polishing and involve multiple processes, this tool can simultaneously perform grinding (cutting) and polishing due to its ability to deform according to the workpiece, absorbing impact while doing so. Additionally, due to its excellent self-generating action from rubber elasticity, it is less prone to clogging, which typically occurs with standard grinding wheels, making dressing (truing) almost unnecessary. 【Advantages (excerpt)】 ■ Compatible with a wide range of materials, including difficult-to-cut materials, high-hardness brittle materials, rubber, and resins ■ Can be used at low rotational speeds, reducing heat generation and minimizing stress on the workpiece ■ The rubber elasticity tends to result in fewer polishing scratches compared to resin-bonded and vitrified grinding wheels ■ Achieves both grinding (cutting) and polishing (finishing) simultaneously, allowing for process reduction ■ Less prone to clogging, eliminating the need for dressing *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
