Rubber Products
Rubber products have the advantage of a unique cushioned action for a smooth, free cut. They resist clogging or smearing and are ideal for applications where dimensional tolerances and control are vital.
Our rubber bonded grinding wheels offer a high-quality finish with excellent wheel life. They are cooler cutting, can offer a super finish and longer life, and are available in all shapes according to requirements.
We offer the latest developments in diamond impregnated rubber products and control wheels for centreless applications and can work with customers on the development of specialised products as a solution to application needs.
