How it’s Made

Every flexible superabrasive tool is built with three essential layers for durability and performance:

  • Grit – cBN or diamond, available in a wide range of grit sizes to suit coarse grinding through fine finishing

  • Bond – a durable matrix that holds the abrasive grains in place, ensuring consistent cutting performance and long tool life

  • Backing – a flexible yet strong foundation that provides stability, durability, and the ability to conform to curves and complex shapes
