Flood Coolant for Diamond wheel
What are the options for this ? I know water soluble is one . Are there
any other ? Is everything else a poor second ? I am helping guy set up a profile grinder for molder knives . The building might not be heated come winter is the reason I am asking . Any other tips I can pass along about using a diamond wheel ? Actually this machine came with a couple of dozen wheels to fit various set-ups . Ken Cutt |

Diamonds are carbon and ferrous metals absorb carbon and your wheel will wear away very shortly. If you are cutting steel use a cbn wheel. John |

John I can not say about all the knives as it is not my machine but I can guess that the bulk of the knives will be tool steel . I thought grinding steel with diamond was ok as long as you keep everything cool ? No planer mill I ever heard of could afford the bulk of their knives to be carbide . As an example . This one machine has 6 cutter heads with (guessing as I have not counted ) 14 cutters per head . Thats a lot of carbide . I would like any info at all as I have never used a diamond wheel . If they will not do tool steel , well that would be information well worth knowing . Thanks Ken Cutt |
