Mounted points Product information Mounted points in hardness N are manu- factured from regular aluminium oxide and a high-quality resinoid bond. This relatively hard bond contains grinding additives, which in combination with tough regular aluminium oxide and the hard bond allow high stock removal rates and excellent tool life. The hardness N is particularly suited for edge grinding on stainless steel (INOX). It is charac- terized by cool grinding and high dimensional Mounted points in hardness O consist of Mounted points in hardness R are manu- stability. pink aluminium oxide in a vitrified bond. factured from grey silicon carbide in a vitrified These tools are characterized by a very long bond.
