A VITRIFIED CBN GRINDING WHEEL WAS RECENTLY DEVELOPED CAPABLE OF OPERATING AT SPEEDS OF 40,000SFPM (200 M/SEC). IN ORDER TO GRIND AT SUCH HIGH SPEEDS A SPECIAL CORE WAS DEVELOPED USING A CARBON FIBER REINFORCED PLASTIC. THIS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED CORE HAS HIGH ENOUGH STRENGTH AND LOW ENOUGH EXPANSION TO OPERATE AT THE HIGH CENTRIFUGAL FORCES GENERATED DURING GRINDING. THIS VITRIFIED CBN WHEEL HAS BEEN TESTED AT SUPER HIGH SPEEDS OF 40,000SFPM (200 M/SEC). THESE TESTS CONFIRMED THAT THE HIGHER SPEEDS WILL GIVE CONTINUAL AND BIG IMPROVEMENTS IN GRINDING EFFICIENCY AND WHEEL LIFE.
