Combination Wheels Increase Productivity While Reducing Cost

Ideal for general fabrication, oil rig building and repair, rail, container, and pipeline manufacturing, durable Norton Quantum3 Combination Wheels from Saint-Gobain Abrasives reduce the need for wheel changes, decrease production downtime and labor cost, and increase productivity by 15 percent so users can finish more pieces in less time.

Innovative Grinding Wheel Technology

HPL anti-friction abrasive tools, hybrid-bonded durable precision dressing tools, double-disk fine-grinding wheels and more from Meister Abrasives dramatically reduce process variability, improve quality and increase grinding productivity.

CBN Abrasive and Small Diameter Abrasive Nylon Disc Brushes

For difficult-to-finish materials such as Monel, Inconel, Incoloy, Hasteloy, Invar, Rene and high nickel alloy steels, small 50 mm, 60 mm and 80 mm diameter Nampower abrasive nylon disc brushes and CBN abrasive from Brush Research Manufacturing offer greater versatility into harder to reach areas, smaller applications and planetary head mountings.

Keeping Railroads on Track

As increasing demand for passenger and freight rail services fuels rapid growth in rail infrastructure investment, machining plays an invaluable role in the maintenance, repair and manufacture of numerous railway applications, including track, wheels and wagon parts.

Can a Quality Hinge Be Formed in a Press or a Brake?

Curls, hinges, knuckles, and rolled edges can all be produced on sheet metal using either a punch press or a press brake. The primary difference is the amount of control and handling provided by the machine. When producing curl forms, here are some factors to consider to make sure the job is done right.

Fit and Trimmable Flap Discs

Are you trying to blend and finish curved parts and other jobs where it’s difficult to reach the work or when a specific material finish is a priority? Trimmable flap discs are a versatile solution for these applications because the flaps and backing plate will also curve to match the shape during the process.
