Jun 03, 2020

We are a manufacturer of cutting wheel, angle grinding wheel and polishing wheel. Today we are going to tale about the difference between cutting wheel and grinding wheel.


The grinding wheel can be used for cutting, grinding and polishing with different shape. But the cutting wheel can only be used for cutting, and they are also divided into resinoid cutting wheel and diamond cutting wheel. The cutting wheel is a thin sheet which made from abrasive and binder such as resin, etc, can be used for the cutting of ordinary steel, stainless steel, and nonmetallic materials. The production technique of grinding wheel is similar to cutting wheel, however, the grinding wheel can be used not only for cutting, but also for grinding.


Grinding wheel is a porous body made by adding binder in abrasive, pressing, drying and roasting. Because abrasive, binder and manufacturing process are different, the characteristics of grinding wheel are very different. Therefore, it has an important influence on the quality, productivity and economy of grinding.


The cutting wheel belongs to the grinding wheel in fact which is made from abrasive and binder such as resin. It is can be divided into resinoid cutting wheel and diamond cutting wheel. Moreover, it is can be used for cutting ordinary steel, stainless steel metal and non-metallic material.
