Selecting the correct abrasive, whether diamond or CBN, is crucial for achieving optimal grinding results. Diamond abrasives excel in precision grinding of hard materials like carbides, ceramics, and glass, offering superior surface finish and tight tolerances. CBN abrasives are tailored for tough-to-machine materials such as hardened steels and superalloys, providing efficient stock removal and dimensional stability even under high-speed grinding conditions.

The bond is the material/matrix used to keep the abrasive grit on the wheel,
- Resin Bond: Soft, offering a smooth finish, suitable for grinding carbide and ceramics.
- Electroplated Bond: Single layer of diamonds attached with nickel, ideal for precision and high material removal.
- Poly Bond: Polymer-based, flexible, used for polishing and fine grinding.
- Vitrified Bond: Hard, brittle, and heat-resistant, used for precision grinding.
- Metal Bond: Strong and durable, used for heavy-duty grinding of hard materials.
- Hybrid Bond: Combines resin and metal, offering a balance of strength and smooth finish for various applications.
