Features

Zirconia Alumina Grain—A tough, microfracturing abrasive that continuously exposes fresh edges for consistent sharpness and grinding efficiency.
Straight Type (1) Wheel Profile—Offers stability and access for both gullet restoration and tooth sharpening operations.
Durable Resin or Vitrified Bonds—Engineered to hold abrasive grains securely under heavy loads while ensuring controlled breakdown.
Cooler Grinding Action—Reduces thermal buildup that can damage saw teeth or soften cutting edges.
Extended Wheel Service Life—Provides longer intervals between wheel changes compared to aluminum oxide, lowering consumable costs.

Description

Straight type zirconia alumina grinding wheels offer a performance upgrade for saw gumming and sharpening applications. With a tougher and sharper abrasive grain than standard aluminum oxide, Zirc wheels excel in heavy stock removal and demanding reshaping operations. Their self-sharpening grain structure maintains cutting aggressiveness while reducing the risk of glazing, allowing for consistent results over extended use. These wheels are ideal for restoring gullets, reshaping teeth, and maintaining saw blade geometry across a wide range of steels. By combining durability with cooler grinding action, Zirc wheels help reduce downtime, extend blade life, and lower overall maintenance costs in saw shops, mills, and primary metals operations.

Application

Application

1

Gumming circular saw blades to restore gullets and maintain proper chip clearance.

2

Heavy-duty sharpening of band saw teeth in production or maintenance settings.

3

Grinding alloy or carbon steel saws where faster stock removal is required.

Recommendations

Select coarser grit sizes for gumming and finer grits for sharpening and finishing.
Use consistent coolant flow when possible to control temperature and maximize wheel life.
Dress wheels regularly to prevent glazing and maintain aggressive cutting action.
Ensure proper wheel mounting and balancing to reduce vibration and improve tooth finish.
Operate within the manufacturer’s recommended RPM range for safety and best performance.
