    Default grinder wheel formulation

    I am seeking information or a source of information on grinder wheel formulation and what metals suit certain wheels.
    I know aluminium oxide is suposed to be good for HSS & high carbon steels & silicon carbide for mild steel but I'm looking for some real detail.
    cheers
    Any thing with sharp teeth eats meat.
    Most powertools have sharp teeth.
    People are made of meat.
    Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.

    Attached is a photo of a chart of grinding wheel grades and examples of use. If it isn't legible, let me know and I can email you a high res version.

    Text books on fitting and machining would be a good source for this sort of info

    Hope this helps

    John

    ps In case anyone is wondering, there did not seem to be any copyright on the publication this info came from.
