PRODUCT FAQ

  1. What is the grit size of this 3M diamond wheel?

    This wheel features a 10 micron diamond grit, which provides an extra-fine finish ideal for precision grinding and polishing applications.

  2. What are the wheel dimensions and what do they mean?

    The wheel measures 4 inches in diameter by 3/8 inch thick with a 1-1/4 inch bore. These compact dimensions make it perfect for detailed work on smaller components and precision equipment.

  3. What does "1A8" mean in the product description?

    The "1A8" designation refers to the wheel's bond type and structure. This specific configuration is designed for efficient grinding performance with controlled material removal.

  4. Why would I choose a 3M diamond wheel over other options?

    3M diamond wheels deliver superior performance, longer tool life, and consistent results across a wide range of grinding applications. You're investing in reliability and precision that helps reduce your production costs over time.

Breakthrough Technology Automates Tool Polishing

3M has developed an innovative bonding technology incorporated into the 3M™ Trizact™ Diamond Polishing Wheel 685DC. This advanced "Trizact bond" delivers exceptional surface finishing results while preventing profile distortion and preserving cutting edge integrity. By merging the strengths of resin-bond diamond wheels with non-woven abrasive technology, this polishing solution achieves remarkable efficiency without sacrificing the structural rigidity necessary for precision truing, dressing, and consistent adherence to intricate tool geometries. The wheel excels particularly in refining the flutes of drills and endmills, making it an ideal choice for precision tool finishing applications.

Loaded With Diamond

The wheel's design features diamond particles uniformly distributed throughout its entire structure. As the wheel gradually wears during operation, newly exposed diamond particles emerge to engage with the workpiece, ensuring sustained sharpness and cutting performance. This continuous replenishment of sharp abrasive material results in consistent and predictable polishing outcomes, ultimately reducing production defects, minimizing rework requirements, and enhancing overall component quality.

Designed for Automated Truing and Dressing

Although the 685DC can function effectively with handheld equipment, its primary design targets CNC grinding machinery environments. The wheel integrates effortlessly into existing automated manufacturing workflows, optimizing production efficiency and consistency.

More Perfect Finishes Function Better

Achieving mirror-quality finishes on cylindrical cutting tools substantially extends tool longevity and enhances finished part quality. Superior surface refinement enables tools to maintain cooler operating temperatures while preserving edge sharpness during use. When flute surfaces achieve exceptionally fine finishes on drills and endmills, machined chips navigate through the cutting zone with substantially reduced friction and heat generation. This improved chip evacuation mechanism promotes superior surface quality in finished workpieces and prolongs tool service life.

Recommended Applications
  • Oil and Gas – PCD cutters and drilling bits
  • Thermal spray – wear surfaces
  • Cutting Tools – indexable insert grinding
  • Round tools – primary materials
  • Roll grinding and superfinishing
A Cutting Tool Grinding and Polishing System

The 3M™ Trizact™ Diamond Polishing Wheel 685DC functions as a core component within the comprehensive 3M™ Cutting Tool Grinding and Polishing System. This integrated solution comprises a carefully curated selection of machinery and consumable products engineered to facilitate rapid, dependable, and fully automated tool grinding and finishing operations. The system's modular design permits individual components—including the 3M™ Truing and Dressing Machine and 3M™ Superabrasives—to operate independently or work synergistically, enabling users to construct a customized grinding and polishing solution readily compatible with most contemporary manufacturing facilities. Furthermore, 3M provides an extensive selection of wheel geometries and configurations specifically engineered for round tool grinding applications. 3M Superabrasive Wheels are manufactured in numerous constructions suited for both general-purpose and CNC-based grinding operations, available with either cubic boron nitride or diamond abrasive materials.
