3M Precision Grinding and Finishing for the Powertrain Industry

3M™ Hybrid Diamond Grinding Wheel 6PHU uses an innovative hybrid bond for high-performance fluting of tungsten carbide. Tungsten carbide endmills are widely used in the milling of engine blocks.

3M Vitrified CBN Superabrasives excel in outside diameter grinding of crankshaft mains and pins. These high-performance grinding wheels offer improved productivity over conventional grinding wheels.

3D printed superabrasives represent a breakthrough in inside diameter grinding. 3M™ Precision Structured CBN Grinding Wheels can shorten cycle time and increase productivity when grinding valve lifters.

Digital modeling and 3D printing allow 3M™ Precision Structured Vitrified CBN Grinding Wheels to be customized with unique surface slots and integrated cooling holes for higher performance in ID grinding.

3M™ Precision Structured CBN Grinding Wheels are custom designed for the most complex internal diameter grinding applications – including U joints.

Gear grinding requires high precision, so choosing the right grinding wheel is essential. 3M™ Cubitron™ II Grinding Wheels feature 3M Precision-Shaped Grain for high-performance gear grinding.

Discover new dimensions of grinding performance and process stability by using 3M™ Precision Structured Vitrified CBN Grinding Wheels for cylindrical grinding of turbochargers.

The 3M Abrasives portfolio features multiple solutions for cylindrical and centerless grinding of spindle bearings, including conventional abrasives and vitrified CBN wheels.
