Grinding Wheels (Wheels & Points)

About grinding wheels

A grinding wheel is made of abrasive particles held together by a bond and grinds with its rim. OSHA groups abrasive wheels by bond: organic, such as resin, rubber or shellac, and inorganic, such as clay, glass or porcelain.

The coarse step: it shapes the work and removes excess material.
