Introduction to Electroplated CBN Band Saw Grinding Wheels
Electroplated CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride) band saw grinding wheels represent a breakthrough in saw blade sharpening technology. Engineered with a single layer of high-grade CBN abrasive grains bonded to a precision-machined steel core through an advanced electroplating process, these wheels deliver exceptional grinding performance, extended service life, and unmatched sharpening quality for band saw blades used across woodworking, metalworking, and industrial cutting applications.
Outstanding Features and Benefits
| Feature |
Benefit |
| Extended Service Life | CBN is second only to diamond in hardness, providing significantly longer wheel life compared to conventional abrasive wheels — reducing replacement frequency and downtime in high-volume sharpening operations. |
| Superior Grinding Finish | The precisely graded CBN grains and uniform electroplated coating produce an exceptionally smooth and consistent finish on sawtooth surfaces, enhancing cutting efficiency after sharpening. |
| Zero Tooth Chipping | The controlled cutting action of electroplated CBN wheels eliminates tooth edge chipping and micro-fractures — a common issue with conventional grinding wheels — preserving tooth geometry and extending blade life. |
| Excellent Tooth Profile Fit | Each wheel is precisely profiled to match the target tooth geometry, ensuring full contact and uniform material removal across the entire tooth face for consistent sharpening results. |
| Wide Range of Grit Sizes | Available in a comprehensive range of abrasive grit sizes to accommodate different finishing requirements — from aggressive stock removal to ultra-fine finishing passes. |
| Full Customization | Wheels can be manufactured to match any sawtooth profile or customer-provided sawtooth drawing, delivering a truly tailored sharpening solution. |
Standard Dimensions
Our electroplated CBN band saw grinding wheels are available in three standard sizes, with full customization options available:
| Outside Diameter (OD) |
Bore Diameter (ID) |
| 127 mm / 5 inch | 12.7 mm / 1/2 inch |
| 150 mm / 6 inch | 20 mm / 25/32 inch |
| 203 mm / 8 inch | 32 mm / 1-1/4 inch or 25.4 mm / 1 inch |
Any electroplated band saw CBN grinding wheel can be customized to your exact specifications — including non-standard diameters, custom bore sizes, and specialized profiles.
Available Tooth Profiles
We manufacture CBN grinding wheels for a wide variety of band saw tooth profiles, covering the most common configurations in the industry:
| Tooth Profile |
Primary Application |
| 10/30 Profile | The most common and widely used tooth profile, suitable for general-purpose band saw blades across a broad range of wood types and cutting conditions. This is our highest-volume profile. |
| 9/29 Profile | Specifically designed for band saw blades used in winter conditions. The modified tooth geometry provides optimal cutting performance in cold weather, frozen timber, and low-temperature environments. |
| 13/29 Profile | Optimized for soft wood species. The tooth geometry is engineered to maximize cutting speed and chip clearance when processing softer, less dense timber varieties. |
| 4/32 Profile | Engineered for harder wood species. The robust tooth geometry and aggressive rake angle deliver efficient material removal and extended edge retention when cutting dense hardwoods. |
