PRODUCT FAQ

  1. What is the 10 micron specification on this polishing wheel?

    The 10 micron specification refers to the size of the diamond particles bonded to the wheel's surface. This means it's designed for fine polishing applications and will produce a smoother finish than coarser grits. It's ideal for precision work on delicate materials.

  2. What materials can I use this Trizact wheel on?

    The 3M™Trizact™ Diamond Polishing Wheel 685DC is excellent for polishing a wide variety of materials including stone, glass, ceramics, composites, and engineered materials. It works particularly well on granite, marble, and other natural stones.

  3. How long does this wheel typically last compared to traditional polishing wheels?

    Trizact diamond wheels generally offer extended life compared to conventional polishing wheels because of their superior diamond particle coating. The exact lifespan depends on how intensively you use it and what material you're polishing, but you can expect reliable performance for many hours of polishing.

  4. Can I use this wheel wet or dry?

    Yes, the 3M™Trizact™ Diamond Polishing Wheel 685DC is versatile and can be used either wet or dry. Wet polishing typically produces superior finishes and helps cool the material being worked on, but dry polishing is also effective depending on your specific application.

  5. Does this come as a single wheel or in a multi-pack?

    This product comes as 1 wheel per case, so you're getting one quality polishing wheel ready to install on your equipment. If you have high-volume polishing needs, you can order multiple cases to keep backup wheels on hand.

Breakthrough Technology Automates Tool Polishing

At 3M, an innovative bonding technology has been integrated into the 3M™ Trizact™ Diamond Polishing Wheel 685DC to deliver exceptional results in tool finishing. This advanced "Trizact bond" technology enables the creation of outstanding surface finishes while effectively preventing any distortion to the tool's profile or cutting edges, ensuring the polished surface maintains its integrity throughout the polishing process. Engineered specifically for precision polishing of drill flutes and endmill surfaces, this wheel merges the superior characteristics of resin-bonded diamond abrasives with the versatility of non-woven abrasive wheel technology. This intelligent combination facilitates highly efficient polishing operations while preserving sufficient structural rigidity to allow for precision truing and dressing procedures, enabling the wheel to consistently and accurately conform to intricate and complex tool geometries.

Loaded With Diamond

The 3M™ Trizact™ Diamond Polishing Wheel 685DC incorporates diamond particles that are strategically distributed uniformly throughout the entire wheel matrix. As the wheel undergoes normal wear during operation, newly exposed diamond particles continuously emerge to engage with the workpiece, maintaining optimal cutting sharpness and performance. This self-renewing cutting surface delivers consistent and predictable polishing results that significantly enhance overall productivity, substantially reduce the incidence of rejected parts and costly rework, and ultimately improve the overall quality and precision of finished components.

Designed for Automated Truing and Dressing

While the 685DC wheel can accommodate manual operation with portable tools, it has been purposefully engineered for integration with CNC grinding machines. This specialized design allows for seamless integration into existing manufacturing environments and automated production workflows.

More Perfect Finishes Function Better

When round cutting tools are polished to a mirror-like finish, the resulting improvement in surface quality can substantially extend tool longevity and enhance overall performance characteristics. Superior surface finishes contribute to lower operating temperatures and improved edge retention during cutting operations. The refined finish achieved in the flute passages of drills and endmills facilitates smoother chip evacuation, reducing friction and heat generation. This enhanced chip flow mechanism not only produces superior surface finishes on machined workpieces but also extends the operational life of the cutting tools themselves.

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
