ELECTROPLATED GRINDING WHEELS
Our electroplated diamond & CBN grinding wheels consist of a single layer of abrasive bonded to a precision-machined steel blank by a coating of nickel plating. Roughly half of every piece of abrasive on a plated wheel is left exposed. This makes plated wheels some of the most aggressive, free-cutting wheels available. Enhanced grinding performance combined with longer wheel-life and precise form-holding characteristics make for a smoother, more productive workflow and a superior finished product.
Strip And Replate
​The Strip & Replate process is a cost-effective way to save our customers time and money. The used tool is “stripped” of the remaining abrasive material, then replated with a fresh application of Diamond or CBN. Diamondback will provide this service regardless of the source of the blank.
​
In contrast to conventional grinding tools, replating allows for the tool to be re-used almost indefinitely. This feature, combined with Diamondback's competitive turnaround time, represents massive savings in both time and money.
New Tool Manufacturing
​Diamondback Abrasive specializes in the manufacturing of high quality, custom-formed grinding wheels for a wide variety of industries and applications. New wheel “blanks” are manufactured to your specifications and tolerances using precision turning, machining, and grinding operations.
​
OUR TOOLS PROVIDE:
Tight-Tolerance, Custom Forms​​​
From start to finish, simple or complex; plated wheels take and hold precise forms throughout their long working life.
​
Free-Cutting Performance
High material removal rates, lower power requirements, reduced heat & thermal damage to the work piece.
​
Reusability=Reduced Cost
Our strip & replate program will help you get the most out of your wheels, reduce your scrap, and nearly eliminate your need for replacement tooling.
​
Less Downtime
Cut down on time and money spent on tool changes, dressing, and dialing in offsets.
