Mirka unveils new Cafro HP Hybrid Bond grinding wheels

After intensive internal product development, the wheels have now been tested by several customers and the tests show good results.

“We can see that our solution allows for depths of cut and material removal capacity that cannot be reached with wheels that use standard resin or hybrid bonds. The new product uses an enhanced kind of bond for the abrasive grains, that combines metal and resin bonding,” explained business manager, Mårten Eriksson at Mirka.

HP Hybrid Bond requires a good coolant pressure in order to avoid clogging and to reach its full potential. The wheel is particularly suitable for customers that produce medium-sized and big series of drills made of harder metals such as tungsten carbide. One customer that tested the new wheel could speed up its production 2.5 times, while at the same time lowering the amount of power needed to run the machine.

The development of the new HP Hybrid Bond wheel started when Mirka acquired Cafro, a producer of superabrasives wheels and tools in 2017.
