Depressed Center Grinding Wheels Remove More Metal Faster with Less Operator Fatigue

For substantially faster grinding, Norton Quantum3 wheels from Saint-Gobain Abrasives remove almost twice the amount of carbon steel at five minute intervals compared to other competitive wheels.

Booth N-4104: For the lowest total operating cost and most productive grinding yield in the industry, Norton QUANTUM3 Depressed Center Grinding Wheels from Saint-Gobain Abrasives don’t grab or dig when used in any direction. They simply glide through the workpiece while removing metal for free cutting control that can boost the amperage on its own without additional pressure needed on the tool.

In Booth N-4104, Saint-Gobain Abrasives (Worcester, MA), one of the world’s largest abrasives manufacturer, will showcase their Norton QUANTUM3™ (NQ3) Depressed Center Grinding Wheels along with other new products. NQ3 features a proprietary grain along with a tougher bond system containing a unique combination of fillers and bonding agents that allow for much better mix quality in manufacturing. NQ3 provides substantially faster grinding for more metal removal and longer wheel life with less operator fatigue to significantly increase grinding output. Test results conducted with NQ3 and competitive wheels revealed that NQ3 removed almost twice the amount of carbon steel at five minute intervals.

Norton Quantum3 wheels are constructed using a precisely engineered iron, sulfur and chlorine-free resin technology to provide a uniform abrasive distribution throughout the wheel. This unique bond was designed for retaining the grains long enough during and after grain fractures. This subtle but powerful bond characteristic enables both excellent cut rates and exceptionally long wheel life. “Norton Quantum3 grain tends to be more rounded than precision-shaped ceramic grain. This allows a more robust, sharper cutting action with less vibration, for much easier operator control. These wheels don’t grab or dig when used in any direction. They simply glide through the workpiece while removing metal. This also means the free cutting control can boost the amperage on its own without additional pressure needed on the tool,” said Mike Radaelli, the Norton Abrasives director of product management, North America. “Norton Quantum3 grinding wheels are made in the U.S. and provide users with the lowest total operating cost and the most productive grinding yield in the industry.”
