Producers of advanced drills and end mills can look forward to better material removal and time savings with the HP Hybrid Bond diamond and CBN wheels. After intensive internal product development, the wheels have now been tested by several customers and the tests show good results.
HP Hybrid Bond requires a good coolant pressure in order to avoid clogging and to reach its full potential. The wheel is particularly suitable for customers that produce medium-sized and big series of drills made of harder metals such as tungsten carbide. One customer that tested the new wheel could speed up its production 2.5 times, while at the same time lowering the amount of power needed to run the machine.
The development of the new HP Hybrid Bond wheel started after Mirka in 2017 acquired Cafro, a producer of super abrasives wheels and tools. By combining Cafro’s long experience of diamond wheels with Mirka’s chemical expertise, the company could come up with the new bond solution.
