Metal-bond profiled diamond and CBN grinding wheels are available for serial grinding of workpieces made of carbides, hardened steels and ceramics.Lach Diamond says its »contour-profiled« procedure is a cost killer in the best possible way. Previous grinding times with resin/hybrid-bond grinding wheels can be reduced by up to 60 percent.

Lach Diamond says dressing with the diamond dressing roll »drebojet-plus«, which emerged from the PCD diamond dressing roll »drebojet« at the beginning of the 80s, is a noteworthy innovation simply because the presented type of drebojet dressing rolls for the CNC dressing respectively profiling of conventional grinding wheels are maintenance free and do not have to be sent back to the manufacturer for expensive maintenance service.
