Composite Grinding Wheel

US Patent:
4910924, Mar 27, 1990
Filed:
Jun 23, 1988
Appl. No.:
7/210466
Inventors:
William L. Bouchard - Washington NH
Robert L. Holden - Auburn MA
Charles W. Sudol - Hillsboro NH
Brian E. Swanson - Northboro MA
Assignee:
Norton Company - Worcester MA
International Classification:
B24D 714
US Classification:
51209R
Abstract:
A two zoned grinding wheel is disclosed having a lower section or zone composed of bonded abrasive grain and an upper zone or section made up of bonded particles of a material that is softer than the abrasive grain and therefore less abrasive. The wheel is especially suitable for being held in clamps or a chuck when being used, with the clamps or chuck contacting the wheel on the upper less abrasive section thus greatly reducing wear on said clamp or chuck.
