With a history that goes back to 1889, Sandusky Chicago has been a quality source for grinding wheels and bonded abrasives products for over a century. As makers of grinding wheels for bench and cylindrical grinding in the late 1800's, we were the first to make mounted points for the dental trade in 1896. In the last 60 years our company has concentrated on small bonded abrasive products, primarily mounted points, internal grinding wheels and tool room products 8” in diameter or less.

Abrasive Products Educational Resources

Some users may not be certain what type of grinding wheel should be used for their particular grinding application. Our sales consultants can help guide you through this process.

Typically we'll start by trying to learn what material you may be grinding (mild steel, hardened steel, stainless steel, nickel alloys, etc.). We will then filter thru various questions to see what microfinish you may want to achieve. At this point we would then recommend a grinding wheel or abrasive stick to suit your application. For parting applications a cut off wheel may be employed.
