Selecting the Right Diamond and CBN Bond for Your Grinding Operation

Nov 15, 2025

—

Choosing the correct bond type depends on three critical parameters:

Material of the workpiece (e.g., carbide, steel, ceramic, glass)
Grinding process (roughing, finishing, creep-feed, or form grinding)
Required balance between form accuracy, surface finish, and productivity

Bond Type	Grinding Nature	Surface Finish	Wheel Life	Applications
Resin	Fast-cutting, cooler	Excellent	Moderate	Carbide tools, regrinding
Metal	Rigid, precise	Good	Very long	Ceramics, glass, form grinding
Vitrified	Rigid, porous	Excellent	Long	Steels, superalloys
Electroplated	Aggressive, sharp	Excellent	Single-use	Intricate shapes
Hybrid	Balanced, versatile	Excellent	Long	Automated grinding
