In this site we would like to give you an overview of our complete polishing and grinding product range.
The product descriptions have been intentionally kept brief, as the best application of a tool depends upon many factors. These factors must be established initially:
– The condition of the raw material before and after grinding, the type of metal, the compounds in use, the tool’s pressures, the required surface, required properties of the part to be processed are all of importance when choosing the correct tool.
– If you provide us with information about your machinery, the revolutions per minute that the polishing tools are turning at, the dimensions, in other words, outside diameter, width and bore of required polishing tool, we can supply you with the specific solution and quotation.
Criteria for most suitable tools
There are several “rules of thumb” for the use of Europolish polishing and grinding tools and brushes made of sisal, cotton, coated abrasive or non-woven material. In fact, this applies to the use of every polishing tool:
– The harder and denser the polishing buff in terms of packing, stitching, folding and impregnation, the higher and quicker the stock removal and smoothing of the surface (cooking-utensils, sheets, tubes).
– The more flexible and loose the structure and material of the tool, the softer and finer the processing of the work piece. This is of particular importance in the processing of contoured or curved parts (sanitary fittings, household fittings, precious metals).
– Ground and polished surfaces not only enhance the beauty of a work piece, but they also make it more durable and less prone to attack from corrosion.
Please use the table here to optimise polishing and grinding tool speeds in relation to the revolutions per minute of your machine. The correct machine parameters and choice of the correct diameter of polishing and grinding tool allow for cost savings due to less wear of the polishing and grinding body. Generally speaking, the larger the outside diameter of the grinding or polishing tool the more economical it is.
The most economical cutting speeds for grinding and polishing are based on experience. However, according to the shape of the work piece variations will be necessary.
