Product catalog summary
Ordering Information
Orders can be placed via phone, fax, email, or online, with all major credit cards accepted by Moore Tool.
Technical Support
Moore Tool provides free technical support for abrasive applications, offering recommendations on wheel type, abrasive, grit size, speed, and feed rate based on customer issues.
Proper Use of Grinding Wheels
Emphasizes the importance of not exceeding maximum wheel speeds and checking wheel run-out before use. Specific run-out tolerances are provided for different spindle types, with adherence to ANSI and OSHA safety standards stressed.
Abrasive Types and Usage
  • Conventional Abrasive: Includes Aluminum Oxide and Silicon Carbide, known for low cost and easy dressing.
  • Electroplate: Single layer of abrasive bonded with nickel electroplate, offering the shortest wheel life among super abrasives.
  • ABN Super Abrasive: Suitable for grinding various steels and metals, providing aggressive cutting and fine finishes.
  • CBN Super Abrasive: Similar to ABN, used for similar applications.
  • Diamond Super Abrasive: Ideal for grinding carbides and tough alloys, offering aggressive cutting and fine finishes.
  • Resin Bond: Combines epoxy with abrasive grains, suitable for dry grinding but requires periodic dressing.
  • Metal Bond: Uses metal filler for strong bonds, ideal for aggressive grinding and small holes.
  • Carbide Burr: Low-cost option for stock removal on soft steels and cast iron.
Wheel Chart Definitions
Defines dimensions such as diameter, height, undercut, length, and shank diameter.
Grinding Wheel Selection
Guidance on selecting conventional abrasives and Gold Line series for specific RPM grinding heads, with catalog numbers for ordering.
Contour Grinding Mandrels
50 Grit CBN mandrels are recommended for heavy stock removal and are suitable for various steels and alloys.
Electroplated CBN and Diamond
Specifications for electroplated CBN and diamond wheels, including catalog numbers and dimensions for different grit sizes.
Truing and Dressing Procedures
Feed rate for truing should be 30 to 40 inches per minute (0.75 – 1 meters per minute) per pass. Coolant should be applied during the dressing cycle to prevent glazing. Use a Moore Tool dressing stick saturated with water to dress the mandrel.
Operational Formulas
Formulas for calculating R.P.M. and S.F.P.M./S.M.P.M. based on wheel head diameter and grinding head R.P.M.
Recommended Speeds by Abrasive Type
Electroplated ABN, CBN, and Diamond; Resin Bond CBN and Diamond: 4500 - 6000 S.F.P.M. (1370 – 1830 S.M.P.M.). Metal Bond CBN and Diamond: 2000 - 4000 S.F.P.M. (610 - 1220 S.M.P.M.).
Air Pressure and R.P.M. Guidelines
Air pressure affects the approximate R.P.M. for various grinding heads. Warning: Do not operate 120,000 and 175,000 R.P.M. grinding heads at less than 60 PSI (4.1 BAR).

Moore Tool Company 800 Union Avenue Bridgeport, CT 06607 Precision Machinery and Manufacturing Using Grinding Wheels Properly WARNING – Grinding wheels improperly used can be DANGEROUS! Do not exceed maximum wheel speeds and observe all safety precautions. Imbalance of mounted abrasive and plated mandrel generates considerable force at high speed. Therefore, each time a wheel is mounted in the spindle, it is important to check the run-out before turning on the air or electric grinding head. To check wheel run-out, indicate the shank at the closest point to the grinding wheel head while turning...

Moore Tool Company Precision Machinery and Manufacturing 800 Union Avenue Bridgeport, CT 06607 Tel (203) 366-3224 Fax (203) 367-0418 www.mooretool.com The grinding wheel must be mounted as rigidly as possible. Deflection of the grinding wheel can have negative effect to cutting efficiency and the life of the mandrel and grinding head. The shorter the overhang of the wheel shank to the wheel head, the less effect of deflection and vibration. In practice, much of the shank of the wheel as possible should be held in the collet (please use caution to ensure the wheel is not “bottomed out” in the...
