As industries evolve, so do the products and their applications. Nonwoven convolute wheels might not be the first wheel to come to mind when thinking of cylindrical or centerless grinding, but they might just be your best choice. When you're more focused on surface finish than material removal, nonwoven wheels provide a number of benefits. They conform. Nonwoven wheels conform to workpieces better than their bonded counterparts. Convolute wheels can be trued and dressed to maintain wheel shape and optimize performance and cut rate, reducing the likelihood of damaging the workpiece. They're waterproof. Nonwoven wheels are waterproof so they can be used wet or dry. They're ideal for polishing and finishing. Nonwoven wheels are extremely durable and maintain their shape longer even during hot contact temperatures and high speeds. This leads to less loading and a smear-free finish. In addition, the abrasives and nonwoven products will not cut or scratch the surface of the workpiece like a bonded or coated abrasive could.
