PFERD Canada Inc.
Mounted Points
PFERD offers a very extensive line of vitrified and resin bonded mounted points. Designed to meet individual application needs, these products come in a broad range of grain types, grit sizes, hardness levels and shapes. The mounted points are manufactured on advanced production lines to high standards of dimensional accuracy and stability, consistent quality, and close tolerances.
| Hardness grade O mounted points consist of pink aluminum oxide in a vitrified bond. Good edge holding and long service life characterize hardness grade O, making it predominant in its field of application. |
| Advantages: |
|
Hardness grade O tools are ideally suited for heavy-duty edge grinding on steels. They are noted for their high edge-holding and dimensional stability, long service life and low wear. Due to their special edge-holding properties, hardness grade O mounted points can also be used economically with low RPM power tools. |
| In edge grinding operations, hardness grade O mounted points perform best at a recommended peripheral speed of 5,000 - 7,800 SFPM. For surface grinding we recommend a peripheral speed of 3,000 - 5,000 SFPM. Suitable drive systems include flexible shafts and electric or air-powered straight grinders. |
|
Hardness grade M mounted points are made of a mix of dark red and white aluminum oxide grit in a vitrified bond. M is one of the most aggressive abrasive grades. |
| Advantages: |
|
• Hardness grade M tools are ideal for general use on steel surfaces, providing high abrasive and stock removal rates. • High stock removal rate reduces grinding time and labour costs. • Cost reductions are achieved despite increased tool consumption, since the reduction in labour costs more than compensates tool costs. |
| Hardness grade M mounted points perform best at a recommended peripheral speed of 6,000 - 9,800 SFPM in surface grinding applications. Suitable drive systems include flexible shafts and electric or air-powered straight grinders. |
