Conventional grinding wheels are typically made from abrasive grains bonded with materials such as vitrified or resin. These wheels are versatile and can be used for various applications, including surface grinding, cylindrical grinding, and tool sharpening. The most common abrasive materials include aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and ceramic grains. Each type has unique properties suited for specific tasks; for instance, aluminum oxide is ideal for grinding ferrous materials, while silicon carbide works well with non-ferrous metals and hard materials like glass and ceramics.

3. SHIPBUILDING
When an operator is working on the confined, hard-to-access spaces of a ship, making a cutting wheel last as long as possible is often a priority. For this reason, the operator will often want to choose a harder, potentially longer-lasting wheel like Tiger Ceramic. However, when operators must use air tools whose hoses have stretched over long distances to access difficult areas of the ship, the tools may be underpowered. In this case, wheels with a soft bond will be ideal because they make it easier to maintain a fast cut. In shipbuilding, the work material often influences the cutting wheel selection. When working with aluminum, an operator may want to select a cutting wheel that will not load or gum up, like Tiger Aluminum.
