Bonded
Abrasive
Products
Introduction
Bonded abrasives consist of conventional abrasive
grains held together in a matrix of glass, resin, rubber
or other binders. As the wheel rotates at high speed in
operation and contacts the work-piece, the exposed
grains begin to cut away the material. The grains would
fracture continuously to expose new cutting points while
the material being worked on wears away the resin bond
to successively uncover fresh grains.
Our Products
The bonded abrasive products available from 3M are
the grinding discs and cut-off wheels.
The rigid grinding disc, also know as depressed center
wheel, is a durable, aggressive product for heavy-duty
stock removal applications while the flexible grinding
disc is a more conformable product which gives smoother
finishing and lower tool vibration during use.

Abrasive Grains
3M offers three types of abrasive grains for the
grinding disc products:
1. Cubitron
2. White aluminum oxide
3. Aluminum oxide
For the cut-off wheels, the abrasive grains available
are:
1. Cubitron
2. Aluminum oxide
Cubitron is the premium grain product from 3M. It is an
advanced ceramic aluminum oxide mineral pioneered
by 3M that offers outstanding cutting power and excellent
durability. These remarkable features make the Cubitron
product best suited for stainless steel applications, where
it will show its great value.
When you see the Cubitron mark, you are getting a sol gel mineral (1) that sharpens as it wears.
Initial grinding breaks away small edges of the grain (2). As grinding continues, micro-fractures
form (3) which break off to create fresh sharp edges for continued fast cutting (4). This process
repeats throughout grinding for long-term efficiency and full value for your abrasive investment.
