General Purpose Grinding Wheels CUMI offers speciality wheels to cater to bench grinding, low speed snagging and various other general purpose applications. These wheels are made of specially processed brown aluminium oxide (A) and green silicon carbide (GC) abrasives that give rapid grinding action, cooler cutting and excellent finish. The self-dressing property of these abrasives results in higher productivity of the wheels. Suitably designed bond systems are used to hold the abrasives strongly, thereby resulting in higher material removal rate and longer life. CUMI produces and markets the largest volume of these products in India and reaches them to customers in diverse user industries through an excellent distribution network. |

HSS Cutting Tool Manufacture The cutting tool is one of the most important elements necessary for realizing the full potential of any metal cutting operation. Carefully chosen grinding wheels are essential to enable the cutting tools obtain sharp edges and accurate geometry. The prominent cutting tool materials that are being used today are High Speed Steels (HSS), Carbides, Ceramics, Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) among these materials, HSS still dominates the field because of their versatility and low cost. Table I gives the approximate composition of commonly used Molybdenum - based HSS. |
