Double disc grinding

High performance DIA & CBN double disc grinding wheels for face and finegrinding

High performance DIA & CBN double disc grinding wheels for face and finegrinding Krebs & Riedel has many years of experience and references in double disc grinding. We offer tailor-made solutions for a wide range of applications, machines and workpieces in the area of face and finegrinding. Krebs & Riedel manufactures double disc grinding wheels up to 1500 mm outer diameter made of DIA and CBN in vitrified bond for the effective creation of flat surfaces with a high surface quality and shape tolerance for a wide range of different materials. The range includes grinding tools in different segmentation for single and double disc grinding machines with and without planetary kinematics. Compared to other systems, the vitrified bond system by Krebs & Riedel allows the production of very free cutting and porous coating structures. This results in a significant increase in productivity.

Double disc grinding wheel

Our ceramic bonding system allows the production of very sharp and porous coating structures. This allows a significant increase in productivity, as well as the finest surfaces for metal, ceramics and plastics.



Our bonding systems are extremely effective in machining a wide variety of ceramics, cast materials, sintered metals, hardened steels and hard metal products. E.g. sealing discs, valve plates, pump rings and housings, roller bearing rings, knives and carbide cutting tools. High stock removal rates and tool life for rolling bearing steel such as 100Cr6 characterize our specifications. In addition to an intensive process analysis, we supply you with double disc grinding wheels and sharpening rings that are adapted to your production processes and tailored to your requirements.
