Vitrified Mounted Points with Norton Quantum Grain & Vitrium3 Bond Technology

Vitrified mounted points are used along with grinding machines for grinding small, intricate, curved metal pieces in foundry, tool room & aerospace industry. These vitrified mounted points use ceramic Quantum grain and Vitrium3 bond technology for higher removal rate of material, ensuring long operating life compared to other abrasive mounted points. Vitrium3 bond technology offers cool cutting & profile holding at high speeds, whereas the Quantum ceramic grain developed from Norton's patented Seeded-Gel technology increases the cutting efficiency by providing a micrometric level breakdown.
