After many years of product testing, WEINIG moulder operators worldwide have endorsed the following selection of jointing stones. These stones, made of high-purity silicon carbide, provide longer stone life, give a superior finish, and prevent accumulation of steel chips in the stone. These stones provide the best possible choice for your applications.
Important considerations when selecting jointing stones are:
GRIT SIZE
|
The finer (higher number) the grit, the better the finish because the grains are finer. A coarse grit will remove more steel, but with less finish smoothness.
|
VITRIFIED BOND
|
Easier to shape, and cuts cooler, wears away to prevent steel accumulation on honing edge.
|
RESIN BOND
|
More difficult to shape, but holds form longer than vitrified. More resistant to chip abrasion. Will remove more steel, but must be cleaned and refreshed periodically.
