Having decided to leave conventional grinding wheels in favor of superabrasives, buyers are confronted with a difficult choice between diamond or CBN grit.

Continental Diamond Tool Corporation (CDT), an industry leader in Diamond and CBN grinding wheels and tools, today announces their acquisition of Jalsons International Company, a manufacturer and supplier of Stationary Diamond Dressers.

Each type of bond, vitrified, resin, metal or plated, has distinct performance characteristics. Learn about the choice between diamond and CBN as it relates to vitrified grinding wheels.

In business, time is money. Industry-standard lead times for custom grinding wheels can take 8 weeks or more. If you are looking for a better, faster grinding wheel alternative, let our service techs help you get the process started.

Every superabrasive grinding wheel consists of diamond or CBN grit held in a supporting matrix material known as the bond. The main bonding systems are resin, vitrified, plated, and metal. Of these, metal bond grinding wheels are perhaps the best known thanks to their overall utility and the length of time they've been available.

At CDT, we cater to our customers needs. We keep precise records of every wheel we manufacture. If there is a wheel you regularly need in stock, let us know and we will make it available upon request.

Superabrasive grinding have two equally important components. While the grit, (diamond or CBN,) does the work, it couldn't function without a partner holding it in place. In the case of resin bond grinding wheels, that partner is phenolic resin.
