Think about how a normal casting cleanup job is different. A standard wheel grinding a hardened steel casting might take off two cubic inches of metal per minute and need to be dressed every twenty parts. A correctly specified diamond wheel can remove twice or three times as much material in the same operation and run hundreds of parts between dressings. The math behind productivity becomes clear: faster cutting speeds, less time spent not cutting while changing wheels and dressing, and parts that are more consistently high quality, which means less rework and scrap.

Custom solutions go beyond just the wheel to include the whole grinding process. Our engineers work directly with foundries to figure out how to solve their problems, like getting a perfect surface finish on investment castings, taking gates and risers off of ductile iron parts, or grinding complicated shapes on as-cast surfaces. We take into account the stiffness of the machines, how the coolant is delivered, how the work is held, and the skill levels of the operators to come up with solutions that work in real production settings, not just in theory.
