Built to hold the form.
In gear grinding the wheel carries the geometry, so form retention is what determines quality across a production run. MaximizerGEAR vitrified CBN is developed to hold profile under load and to return the same form after every dress.
Beyond the spur gear.
Spiral and straight bevel, worm and thread forms each place different demands on the wheel and on the dressing system. We manufacture cup wheels, multi-rib forms and thread wheels, along with the rotary and CVD dressing rolls that maintain them in production.

Grinding Basics training.
SuperAbrasives provides grinding training for customer engineering, quality and production teams, delivered on site at your facility or at our Wixom plant. Sessions are built around your processes and the parts your team runs day to day.
The curriculum is drawn from our Grinding Basics reference, which covers cylindrical, centerless, internal and surface grinding across 147 pages, including the calculations behind traverse rate, part speed, Q-prime, coolant delivery and dressing overlap. Our applications engineers work through these methods with your team and apply them directly to your applications.
