Mounted points, also known as grinding points or abrasive points, are small, abrasive tools used for detailed grinding, deburring, and shaping applications. They are mounted on a spindle or mandrel for use with high-speed rotary tools such as die grinders and flexible shaft grinders. Mounted points come in various shapes and sizes to address different tasks and materials.
These points typically consist of abrasive grains (such as aluminum oxide or silicon carbide) bonded together with a matrix material, often in the form of a resin or vitrified bond. The choice of abrasive material and bonding agent depends on the specific application requirements.
Common shapes of mounted points include cylindrical, conical, spherical, and bullet-shaped, among others. Each shape is designed to suit specific tasks, such as reaching into tight spaces, contouring, or surface blending.
Mounted points find applications in precision grinding, deburring, and finishing operations in industries such as metalworking, aerospace, and mold and die making. They offer the advantage of precise control in intricate or hard-to-reach areas where larger grinding wheels may not be suitable.
We highly recommend replacing aluminum or silicon carbide grinding heads with CGS diamond grinding heads. CGS diamond grinding heads offer superior efficiency and durability, boasting a lifespan that outperforms vitrified grinding heads by an impressive factor of 80-100 times. Make the switch to CGS diamond grinding heads for enhanced performance and extended tool life.
