This year’s catalog also features the addition of diamond-dressing tools and an expanded selection of surface grinding wheels, now totaling 181 SKUs. In addition to the traditional feature and benefits data included for each product, the 2012 catalog provides product recommendation guides that make it easy for customers to understand what items pair with a specific material or application.
