In the field of industrial processing, grinding wheels and cutting tools are two common but often confused tools. Although they are both used for material removal and processing, they have significant differences in structure, function, usage scenarios and adapted equipment. As a professional grinding wheel supplier, Wanyuan Grinding Wheel will analyze the key differences between the two for you and help you choose the most suitable tool to improve production efficiency.
A grinding wheel is a circular grinding tool made of abrasives and binders as the main raw materials through high-temperature sintering or cold pressing. It is usually installed on equipment such as grinders and polishers for surface grinding, finishing or precision machining of materials such as metals, ceramics, glass, and cemented carbide.
Common grinding wheel products include:
Resin grinding wheel
Diamond grinding wheel
Ceramic grinding wheel
Flat grinding wheel
Cutting tools generally refer to tools used to separate or cut materials, such as metal cutting discs, saw blades, turning tools, milling cutters, etc. Cutting tools emphasize the ability to "break" materials and are suitable for processing needs such as segmenting, grooving, and trimming workpieces.
Compared with grinding wheels, cutting tools usually have thinner thickness, faster linear speed, and stronger breaking ability, and are mostly used in processes such as profile cutting, steel pipe cutting, and thin plate cutting.
Grinding wheel: Focus on surface processing and fine grinding of materials, pursue dimensional accuracy and smoothness.
Cutting tool: Focus on quickly and efficiently cutting materials from the whole, requiring sharpness and strength.
Grinding wheel: Often cooperates with equipment such as grinders and angle grinders to work continuously and support long-term grinding.
Cutting tool: Commonly used in cutting machines, grinding wheel cutting machines and other equipment, generally intermittent operation.
Grinding wheels are mostly porous structures, and abrasives are fixed with binders.
Cutting tools are mostly made of carbide, high-speed steel or other high-strength materials.
The choice of grinding wheel or cutting tool should be determined according to the specific processing object and process goals:
If you need high-precision grinding, deburring or surface treatment, resin grinding wheel or ceramic grinding wheel is more suitable;
If you need to cut metal pipes or stainless steel plates, it is recommended to choose high-strength cutting discs or diamond saw blades.
