Mounted wheels are abrasive wheels attached to a shank or mounting system for grinding, cutting, or texturing abrasive materials. Affixed to rotary tools, die grinders, or other equipment with flexible shafts, these industrial CBN and diamond mounting wheels are essential for smoothing and contouring abrasive surfaces where conventional tooling falls short. Diamond would be used for very abrasive non-ferrous materials, while we’d suggest using CBN for hardened ferrous alloys. Custom mounted wheels are available upon request, with most of our standard or stock items shipping in 1 to 3 business days.
Niabraze mounted wheels use a concentrated monolayer of diamond or CBN, depending on the application, that protrudes from the bonding matrix for free-cutting performance and efficient material removal.
Mounted wheels with diamond or CBN deliver aggressive material removal capabilities while still offering exceptional control and accuracy when working with hardened abrasives prone to cracking, chipping, or generating heat.
Mounted superabrasive wheels support precise material removal and preparing delicate surfaces for final assemblies across industrial production environments, including component manufacturing, repair services, and specialized finishing operations.
Niabraze manufactures mounted wheels in a variety of different shapes, dimensions, abrasive types, and working profiles to best match the intended use cases. Options include form wheels for reproducing specific geometries, profiling wheels for creating controlled contours, drum wheels for broader surface finishing applications, and custom mounted tools engineered around specialized equipment or part designs. Both electroplated and vacuum-brazed construction are available for construction depending on the final material, with each delivering aggressive cutting power and extended equipment lifespan that helps reduce costs.
When grinding hardened steel edges or other ferrous alloy parts, diamond is not the preferred abrasive as it cannot withstand the elevated temperatures for extended periods. The heat generated by contact with iron-based materials requires CBN mounted wheels to provide a more stable solution for roughing, profiling, facing, and finishing hardened steel components.
CBN mounted wheels grind and profile hardened steel while tolerating the high operating temperatures, preserving dimensional accuracy, limiting edge distortion, and extending the service life of the tool - reducing costs and turnaround times.
CBN mounted wheels support the production of finished stainless steel components by providing adequate heat resistance, extended tool life, and reliable control during operation that leads to superior-quality end products.
These are some of the most frequently asked questions about our CBN and diamond cutting tools. For any information not shown on the page or other questions, please contact a member of our team to learn more.
Mounted wheels are ideal cutting tools for grinding, facing, contouring, polishing, or other finishing processes. Due to the electroplating or vacuum-brazed construction, our tools can support aggressive high-volume applications throughout industrial production environments.
Diamond wheels are optimal for non-ferrous materials like glass, ceramics, quartz, graphite, composites, and others. CBN is reserved for use on hardened steels or iron-containing alloys.
Yes. We manufacture mounted wheels using both techniques. Electroplating supports precise placement of abrasive edges and custom forms. Vacuum-brazing is reserved for end applications that require extremely aggressive material removal.
We offer grit sizes ranging from coarse 20/30 grit through fine 600-mesh particles. Coarse grits are optimized for aggressive material removal or resurfacing applications, while finer grits are reserved for smoother finishing operations and controlled dimensional refinement or polishing.
Yes. Our strip and replate services are available to all diamond- or CBN mounted wheels regardless of the original manufacturer.
Our standard product line includes band saw blades, circular saw blades, hole saws, core drills, mounted wheels, and router bits. We offer diamond-coated products for non-ferrous materials and hardened CBN for ferrous materials.
For all specialty cutting, polishing, facing, or profiling projects that require custom tooling, our team can engineer and manufacture unique cutting tools to meet specific requirements.
Rather than ditch dull blades and tools, Niabraze provides fast-turnaround strip-and-replate services for all cutting tools, regardless of the original manufacturer. Our process quickly removes the existing cutting edge and replaces it with either diamond or CBN material.
