Selection of grinding wheel for sharpening

2022-08-08 12:50:20
One of the purposes of cutting tool sharpening is to obtain cost-effective cutting edge quality, and the key to quality is the choice of the size of the grinding wheels. 
The finer the grinding wheel particle size, the smaller the cutting edge chipping, and the lower the grinding efficiency. For this reason, the PCD cutting tool sharpening process can be divided into three processing stages: rough, medium, and fine according to the accuracy of the cutting edge of the tool, its purpose (see Table 1) or its failure degree (see Table 2). Formulating a reasonable sharpening process according to specific conditions can greatly improve processing efficiency.

Table 2 Classification by the degree of cutting tools failure

Rough machining does not require high cutting edge, and electrical machining or grinding can be selected. The electrical processing efficiency is high, and it is suitable for processing complex tools, such as drill bits for printed circuit boards, forming milling cutters for cutting laminate flooring, etc. Coarse-grained grinding wheel can be selected for grinding, with large contact area and high grinding force (300～400N) during sharpening, which can quickly remove excess machining allowance.
