Centerless Wheels - Gemini Non-Stock

Norton Gemini Non-stock Centerless Wheels are versatile, general purpose wheels, offering consistent performance at an economical initial price. They are an ideal wheel choice when a broad range of tool steel parts are ground on one machine.

 

Centerless grinding is a production process that produces extremely close tolerances on metal cylindrical forms or parts. Centerless grinding is used on a wide variety of workpieces. The key components in the process are the grinding wheel, the work rest blade (used to support the work) and the regulating or “feed” wheel (the drive mechanism for the workpiece).

  • Specially blended aluminum oxide abrasive for many centerless applications 
  • Consistent performance at an economical initial price
  • Durable, vitrified bond 
  • High stock removal on narrow to medium contact areas; cool cutting
  • Versatile; ideal when a broad range of tool steel parts are ground on one machine
