Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What is the main difference between electroplated (DP), resin-bonded (DR), and metal-bonded (DM) diamond wheels? A: Electroplated (DP) offers fast, aggressive cutting on softer materials like PCBs and plastics with a single diamond layer. Resin-bonded (DR) provides a balanced, versatile cut for hard/brittle materials with good self-dressing. Metal-bonded (DM) delivers maximum durability and longevity for tough applications like glass and ceramics.

Q2: When should I choose CBN-M wheels over diamond wheels? A: Use CBN-M for ferrous/hard steel materials (e.g., hardened steels, Co-Ni alloys) where diamond wheels may wear quickly; CBN excels in low-speed precision sectioning of iron-based alloys.

Q3: Are these wheels compatible with my low-speed precision cutting machine? A: Yes — all sizes fit standard Φ12.7 mm, 22 mm, or 32 mm arbors on machines like the CT-150, with ultra-thin design minimizing kerf and heat for clean metallographic cuts.

Q4: How do I select the right thickness and diameter? A: Choose thinner wheels (0.4-0.5 mm) for minimal material loss on delicate samples; larger diameters (200-300 mm) for bigger workpieces. Match to your sample size and machine capacity (up to Φ40 mm on CT-150).

Q5: Do these wheels require coolant or can they be used dry? A: Most perform best with coolant for heat reduction and longer life, especially on hard materials; dry cutting is possible for softer samples but may reduce wheel lifespan.

Q6: What is the typical service life compared to standard wheels? A: Ultra-thin high-precision design with premium diamond/CBN concentration offers significantly longer life (often 2-5x) than conventional wheels, reducing replacement frequency and downtime.

Q7: Are these wheels suitable for student/teaching labs? A: Absolutely — easy to install, low heat generation, and clean cuts make them ideal for educational setups, university practicals, and entry-level research without compromising precision.

Q8: Can I use different bond types on the same machine? A: Yes — switch bonds based on material (e.g., DP for PCBs, DR/DM for ceramics); quick arbor changes and compatibility ensure flexibility in multi-material labs.

Q9: What safety precautions should I follow? A: Always use proper guards, eye protection, secure clamping, and follow machine guidelines. Low-speed operation reduces risk, but ensure adequate ventilation or coolant for dust/heat control.

Q10: Does G-Hexa offer bulk discounts or custom sizes? A: Yes — contact us for volume pricing, custom specifications, or bundles with cutting machines/consumables. We support labs, institutions, and industries with tailored solutions across India.
