SHUR-KUT Zirconia Grinding Aid Quick Change Discs
With a smaller diameter, quick change discs provide ease of use on intricate parts and excellent control when shaping or blending surface portions, especially on flat surfaces. Moderate flexibility of quick change discs and their holders allows contouring and access to inner corners.
Filtration systems reduce production costs
The costs of cooling lubricants in tool grinding often exceed the costs for grinding wheels. Tool manufacturers who acknowledge this can save money with ultra-fine filtration technology that is optimally adapted to a company's production capacity and manufacturing requirements. Vomat in Treuen, Germany, is a filtration specialist that offers a range of products that can reduce these costs.
