Cylindrical Wheels - Gemini Non-Stock

Norton Gemini Non-stock Cylindrical Wheels are economical, versatile general purpose wheels, ideal when a broad range of tool steel parts are ground on one machine or in small to mid-sized shops.

 

Cylindrical wheels are used most often when the part is held between centers and in chucks. There are three methods of cylindrical grinding: plunge, traverse, and angular.

  • Plunge grinding – wheel is thrust or plunged into the part
  • Traverse grinding – wheel moves across the part
  • Angular grinding – wheel contacts the part at an angle
  • Specially blended aluminum oxide abrasive for many cylindrical 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 or in small to mid-sized shops
