New Products--Resin diamond wheels for premium grinding for knife sharpening for Tormek T7/T8

For better brightness and sharpness on knife sharpening for Tormek T7/T8 grinder, we recommend our new Resin Diamond Wheels that the electroplated CBN wheels could not meet.
The market is keeping changing. Some people need high quality grinding wheels for knife edge. To achieve super sharpness, a grinding wheel of very fine grit is a must.
The electroplated bond wheel cannot meet higher brightness and better sharpness requirement.
So we develop Resin Diamond Wheels for this higher requirement.
The Resin Diamond Wheels can also avoid the broken problem that is occurred on electroplated wheels by wrong operation, especially 400 and 1000 grit ones.
The finest grit of our electroplated CBN wheels is 1000 grit (20um). The electroplated wheels of 1000 grit will achieve the corresponding brightness and sharpness that 600 grit(25um) Resin Diamond Wheels can achieve.
So the finest grit of electroplated wheel can not meet higher requirement of sharpness and brightness at all. Like 1000 grit wheel can only get the sharpness of 155 (tested on BESS device). By using Resin Diamond Wheels you can achieve the sharpness up to 75 tested on BESS device.
While you use our resin bond Diamond wheels, you can achieve the brightness of 10000#(1um), you can imagine what a fascinating edge you achieve.

The knife sharpening on the Tormek T7/T8 seems easy, but actually it is not easy, especially for the electroplated wheels of 1000#(20um). The electroplated layer thickness is around 10um, that equals to 1/7--1/8 of  the diameter of hair, i.e., the thickness of working layer is very thin. In case the operator does not adjust the knife to the perfect angle, the knife will pierce the electroplated layer easily, then the working layer will  crinkle and fall off from the wheel body and the whole wheel could not be used any longer. This will be a big loss for the user because the electroplated CBN wheel is expensive.
Once you come to use our resin bond Diamond wheels, the wheels will work smoothly and neither be pierced nor be broken even though you do not adjust the knife to the perfect angle.

Despite the advantages of resin bond Diamond wheels compared with electroplated bond CBN wheels, there are some disadvantages on sharpness and price. Like for the same grit, the resin wheels will not be as sharp as the electroplated ones, and the price of Resin Diamond Wheels are more expensive than that of the electroplated ones.
We can adjust the grit of Resin Diamond Wheels to satisfy the sharpness requirement accordingly.
Regarding the price, we will do something to reduce that in near future.

To achieve the same sharpness you can choose according to the granularity correspondence table of electroplated CBN wheels and resin Diamond wheels, as below:

Remarks:

For the new users for choosing 400 grit or 1000 grit electroplated wheels, we suggest you’d better use resin diamond wheels of 200 grit or 600 grit instead, this way you have no tension to break the wheels.
