The Challenges of Tool Grinding

Manufacturing solid carbide, HSS, and PCD cutting tools – such as drills, end mills, inserts and reamers – requires grinding intricate features including helical flutes, gashing slots, primary/secondary relief angles, and end-tip clearances. Operating under high feed rates generates intense friction and thermal pressure that can compromise cutting edge or destroy tool geometry if application and heat dissipation are not perfectly balanced.

Your Ideal System Partner

Winterthur Technology provides dedicated superabrasive wheel specifications engineered specifically for CNC round tool and insert grinding machines. Combining advanced bond systems and different kind of body materials, our diamond and CBN tools maximize stock removal rates while maintaining razor-sharp edge retention and flawless surface finishes across complex, automated production runs.
