ROUND TOOLS DIAMOND & CBN GRINDING WHEELS FOR FLUTE GRINDING Flute grinding is the most time-consuming and thus most cost-intensive manufacturing step during drill and end mill production. It is necessary to optimise the machine and cooling lubricant systems as well as the abrasives. In recent years, machines have become more compact, spindle power has increased, axis paths have been reduced and machine controls have become more efficient. At the same time, Norton Winter has developed flute grinding tools which meet these increasing requirements and which now enable the improved machine capacity...
