“After successful test of fluting, we converted all wheels necessary to grind this tool to Eagle wheels and were able to knock off almost 40% of the run time (from 22 min. to 14 min.) and extend truing intervals by 4x (from 50 parts to 200 parts). Also, the wheels virtually do not have to stick wheel (only after trueing to open it up) when before we were sticking after every 5 parts.”

Evan said “Hey that little pro flute 3 wheel (51051) I bought from you guys is really kicking butt.
I cut over 10 minutes off of my total cycle time and could push it a lot more if I wanted. You hit a home run with this one.”
Glenn said that the 44007 1V1/15 wheel has reduced his cycle time from 55 minutes to 25 minutes on a 6 flute tool. Says the wheel has knocked everything else out of the park.
