EP-F Flat & Cup Wheels

EP-P Profile Wheels

EP-D Dressing & Truing Wheels

EP-B Band & Segmented Wheels

True-to-form electroplated wheels for contour grinding, lens beveling, and custom profiles. Plated directly to precision-machined steel blanks, holding ±0.01mm geometry for complex shapes.

High-concentration electroplated dressers for truing conventional and superabrasive wheels. Single-layer grit exposure delivers sharp, repeatable dressing action.

Thin-plated band wheels for slotting, cutoff, and light grinding. Open-segment designs reduce loading and improve coolant flow in wet grinding environments.

Thin-plated flat and cup wheels for surface grinding and form dressing. Uniform diamond distribution ensures consistent cutting action across the face. Ideal for optical glass, ceramics, and tool room applications.

Comparative Performance

Bond, Grain, and Application Fit

In controlled form-grinding tests, electroplated wheels maintain geometry within ±0.01mm over 3× longer runs than resin bond alternatives. No dressing required for most applications, reducing downtime.

Electroplated diamond wheels use a single layer of diamond grit electroformed onto a precision steel or aluminum blank. No bond material covers the grains, so they cut freely with minimal heat buildup.

Key advantages over other bonds:

  • True-to-profile geometry for complex forms

  • Consistent, sharp cutting action from first use

  • Thin, controlled abrasive layer for high precision

  • No need for dressing during normal use

  • Optical glass, fused silica, sapphire

  • Hard ceramics, carbide, and hardened steel

  • Lens grinding, form dressing, and tool room applications

  • Low to medium stock removal rates where precision is critical
