Grinding machine knives: the cutting edge makes the difference

When grinding machine and industrial knives, a sharp cutting edge and low heat input are the main priorities. For this, we manufacture grinding segments, cup grinding wheels and grinding rings in ISO shapes as well as custom dimensions.

Scythe stones: even a seemingly simple product needs the right specification

Even with a stone that looks simple from the outside, the abrasive material, grit size and, above all, bond hardness determine how long it lasts and how well the cutting edge can be honed. We are now preparing quotations for the spring mowing season.

Silicon carbide: harder than aluminium oxide, but not automatically the better choice

When grinding steel, we generally recommend aluminium oxide: at sufficiently high temperatures in the grinding zone, silicon carbide can react with iron, weakening the cutting edge of the abrasive grain and increasing grain wear. The article explains which applications silicon carbide is suitable for and why hardness alone is not the deciding factor.
