PRODUCT FAQ

  1. What is the grit size of this polishing wheel?

    This wheel features a 10 micron grit size, which provides excellent finishing results for precision polishing applications.

  2. What are the dimensions of the 685DC wheel?

    The wheel measures 6 inches in diameter, 1/4 inch thick, with a 37/47 inch arbor hole size.

  3. What makes Trizact diamond polishing wheels different from standard wheels?

    Trizact technology uses micron-graded diamond abrasives that break down into smaller particles during use, providing consistent cutting action and excellent surface finishes throughout the wheel's life.

  4. Can this wheel be used on different types of materials?

    Yes! The 685DC wheel works great on a variety of materials including ceramics, composites, stone, and other hard materials commonly found in precision finishing operations.

  5. How many wheels come in each case?

    Each case contains one wheel, so you'll receive a single 685DC wheel with your order—ready to install and start polishing right away.

Breakthrough Technology Automates Tool Polishing

3M has revolutionized the tool polishing industry by introducing advanced bonding technology integrated into the 3M™ Trizact™ Diamond Polishing Wheel 685DC. This innovative "Trizact bond" formulation delivers exceptional surface finishing results while preventing profile distortion and maintaining cutting edge integrity throughout the polishing process. Engineered specifically for polishing the flutes and surfaces of precision drills and endmills, this wheel represents a hybrid advancement that merges the superior cutting characteristics of resin-bond diamond wheels with the flexibility and adaptability of non-woven abrasive wheels. This unique combination enables efficient material removal while providing sufficient structural integrity for truing and dressing operations, allowing the wheel to consistently conform to intricate tool geometries.

Loaded With Diamond

The 3M™ Trizact™ Diamond Polishing Wheel 685DC features a uniform distribution of diamond particles throughout its entire structure. As the wheel undergoes normal wear during operation, new layers of sharp diamond particles are progressively exposed to the work surface, ensuring sustained cutting performance. This self-replenishing action delivers remarkably consistent and reliable results, which directly translates to enhanced productivity, reduced scrap rates and rework requirements, and superior final part quality.

Designed for Automated Truing and Dressing

Although this wheel can function effectively with handheld portable tools, it was specifically engineered for precision CNC grinding machines and integrates effortlessly into established manufacturing workflows and production lines.

More Perfect Finishes Function Better

When round cutting tools are polished to a mirror-like surface quality, the resulting improvements in tool performance can be substantial. Superior surface finishes enable tools to maintain lower operating temperatures and retain their sharp cutting edges longer during extended use. In drilling and milling operations, a refined finish in the flute passages facilitates superior chip evacuation, reducing friction and heat generation during the cutting process. This enhanced chip flow mechanism not only produces improved surface finishes on machined workpieces but also significantly extends overall 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, which represents a thoughtfully assembled collection of specialized equipment and consumable products optimized for rapid, reliable, and fully automated grinding and polishing operations. The system's modular design allows each component—including the 3M™ Truing and Dressing Machine and complementary 3M™ Superabrasives—to operate independently or work in concert with others, enabling users to construct a fully integrated grinding and polishing solution that readily accommodates most existing production environments. Furthermore, 3M offers an extensive portfolio of wheel geometries and configurations specifically developed for round tool grinding applications. The 3M Superabrasive Wheel lineup encompasses diverse construction options designed for both general grinding applications and specialized CNC machine operations, with availability in both cubic boron nitride (CBN) and diamond abrasive formulations.
