Specification

Description

Resin bond non-reinforced silicon carbide snagging wheels are engineered for heavy grinding and finishing tasks in foundry environments that demand both aggressive stock removal and a smooth final surface. Silicon carbide’s sharp, brittle crystalline structure provides rapid cutting action and excellent performance on hard, brittle, or nonferrous materials such as cast iron, bronze, and aluminum. Combined with a durable, heat-resistant resin bond, these wheels offer a controlled breakdown that keeps the wheel cool, prevents loading, and produces clean surfaces with minimal thermal damage. Designed for use on stationary or fixed snagging grinders, these wheels provide consistent, reliable performance while reducing operator fatigue and rework costs.

Features

High-Purity Silicon Carbide Abrasive—Extremely hard and sharp, it provides superior penetration and fast cutting on cast iron, aluminum, and other tough materials.
Resilient Resin Bond Matrix—Withstands high impact grinding forces while controlling grain breakdown for steady performance and long life.
Non-Reinforced Construction—Optimized for use on guarded, fixed grinding setups; provides excellent balance and minimal vibration under load.
Cool Grinding Characteristics—The sharp, free-cutting nature of silicon carbide minimizes friction and heat, helping preserve metallurgical integrity.
Uniform Wear Pattern—Designed for predictable wheel behavior and consistent grinding results throughout the wheel’s service life.

Application

1
Heavy grinding of gates, risers, and parting lines on gray or ductile iron castings.
2
Surface leveling and cleanup of aluminum or bronze castings in nonferrous foundries.
3
Flash removal and contour shaping on hard, brittle materials prior to machining or finishing.

Recommendations

Use only on stationary or fixed snagging machines equipped with proper guarding for non-reinforced wheels.
Select grit size based on material and finish needs—coarser grits for aggressive removal, finer grits for improved surface texture.
Avoid excessive feed pressure to let the sharp silicon carbide grain cut efficiently without glazing.
Dress the wheel periodically to maintain an open cutting face and optimal performance.
