Darmann Abrasive Products Inc. is now offering fine grit abrasive grinding wheels with unique geometries that enhance performance. The result is higher yield through faster, more efficient pro• cessing at minimal additional cost. Wheels with a preformed shape, such as a bevel or radius that closely conforms to the part, reduces the break-in period. The addition of slots to the cutting surface of a wheel increases fluid flow, which can enhance the cutting action, resulting in improved part ge• ometry. Slots are available on the face ofcylinders and cups for flat and spherical surface finishing or in an equally spaced longitudinal pattern around the periphery of internal wheels.

Products Inc., Wilton, Iowa Micro-mesh cushioned abrasive belts are engi• neered to reduce or eliminate buffing steps re• quired while providing a mirror finish. Micro• mesh is long-lasting and very flexible. The abrasive grains float on a thin, resilient layer placed on a cloth backing. Unlike common coated abrasives, the abrasive crystals are not fixed in position and cut without fracturing. This produces a fine consistent scratch pattern. Circle 160 on reader information card 29
