Electroplated Grinding Heads: Precision Tools for Efficient Material Removal

In the world of precision machining, electroplated grinding heads have become essential tools for high-efficiency grinding, deburring, and polishing of hard materials such as glass, ceramics, tungsten carbide, molds, and quartz. Known for their sharp cutting edges, excellent form retention, and long service life, these tools offer a reliable solution for industries requiring high-accuracy surface finishes and fine detail work.

What Is an Electroplated Grinding Head?

An electroplated grinding head is a precision tool made by bonding a single layer of abrasive particles—usually diamond or CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride)—onto a metal shank or base through an electroplating process. This method ensures that the abrasive grains protrude significantly, providing sharp and aggressive cutting action.

Electroplated grinding heads are available in a wide range of shapes including ball type, cylindrical, conical, cup type, and needle-shaped variants to accommodate various grinding and finishing applications.

Key Advantages of Electroplated Grinding Heads

• Extreme Sharpness: With protruding abrasive particles and no need for a bonding matrix to control wear, electroplated heads offer aggressive material removal.
• Precision Form Control: Ideal for grooves, cavities, and internal surface finishing with high dimensional accuracy.
• High Durability: Robust bond ensures long service life even at high-speed conditions.
• Versatile Compatibility: Suitable for CNC machines, rotary tools, hand grinders, and more.

Common Applications of Electroplated Diamond/CBN Mounted Points

Choosing the Right Electroplated Grinding Head

When selecting the ideal grinding head for your application, consider the following factors:

• • Shape & Design: Match the geometry of the part—ball tips for concave surfaces, cylindrical for internal holes, etc.
  • Grit Size:
    • Coarse (60#–120#) for fast stock removal
    • Fine (200#–600#) for smooth finishing
  • Abrasive Type:
    • Diamond: Best for non-metallic, brittle materials
    • CBN: Ideal for steel, iron-based alloys
  • Shank Size: Choose based on the collet size (e.g., 3mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm)
