Toolroom Wheels - Norton Quantum 5NQ

• Use VBE/V/VS/VK bonds for general purpose applications or medium contact areas.
• Use VBEP/VS, VCP, VP2 bonds on wide contact areas where heat is an issue.

Single Point Diamond Tools

• Rigidly mount Single Point tools at a 10°-15° angle to the wheel centerline with a line drawn through the center of the wheel, pointing in the direction of wheel travel.
• Point of contact should be slightly below centerline of wheel.
• Use coolant whenever possible.
• Normal infeed is .001" per pass.
• Lead selections range from .002" - .010" per wheel revolution.
• Rotate the tool 1/4 turn periodically to maintain a sharp point.

Multi-Point Diamond Tools

• Most multi-point tools are used for straight face dressing.
• Tool should have full face contact with the wheel.
• With new tool, 3–5 passes at .005" per pass should be taken to expose diamonds.
• Infeed per pass .001" - .002"
• Use coolant whenever possible.
• Use appropriate lead (and traverse rate).
• Contact Norton for proper tool selection for Targa wheels.

Dressing SG Ceramic Wheels

• Use our specially designed Norton SG diamond tools when dressing Norton SG ceramic wheels.
• When first using a Norton SG tool, make 3 to 5 passes at .005" infeed to ensure full face contact between the dressing tool and
  wheel face.
• Reduce normal dressing infeed by half. Do not exceed infeed of .002" per pass.
• The lead selection should be between .006"-.030" per wheel revolution. Faster traverse with Norton SG tools generally provides an open wheel face that can maximize productivity of the Norton ceramic abrasive.
• To optimize applications using SG cermic abrasives and/or tools, normal dressing parameters must change. Reduce infeed by 25%. Significant reductions in the amount of infeed and frequency of dress will result in substantially lower cost per part ground.
