The 1A8 Thinwheel is used for high precision slot grinding, slicing and dicing, and some fine cut-off operations. The blade is available in Diamond or CBN and is used in single, as well as gang wheel applications, on standard surface grinders, creep feed grinders, OD grinders, machining centers, and specialized dicing machines. Available in standard diameters of 3”, 4”, 5”, 6”, 7”, 8” and 10” with thickness ranging from .004” to .250”, in increments of .001” or fraction thereof, and holding a thickness tolerance of +/-.0001. The 1A8 Thinwheel is designed to be used in conjunction with specific Diacut type 1A8 Flanges. The flanges are available in varying diameters, which allows for the appropriate amount of wheel exposure (maximum wheel exposure should not exceed 15 x the thickness of the wheel) and for down flanging as the wheel wears. The standard hole size on the 1A8 Flange is 1 1/4”, but special hole sizes are available upon request.
