Built for Performance

Hot Pressed Resin Bonded
Grinding Wheels for Steel Conditioning

Our hot-pressed resin bonded grinding wheels are specifically engineered for the demanding conditioning of steel slabs, blooms, billets, rounds  and ingots prior to rolling. Designed to perform under high grinding pressure, these wheels deliver exceptional durability, high material removal rates and consistent grinding performance in the most demanding steel production environments.

Steel conditioning is a critical process used to remove surface defects such as cracks, inclusions, scale and other imperfections while improving overall surface quality.  By selecting the optimal combination of abrasive grain, grit size and bond technology, our grinding wheels help steel producers achieve superior results across a wide range of applications.

Suitable for All Major Steel Grades

Our grinding wheels are available for:

  • Stainless steels

  • Titanium alloys

  • Alloy steels

  • Carbon steels
