Grinding Wheel Basics
The construction of a grinding wheel includes an abrasive grain that performs the cutting, and the bonding material that holds the abrasive in place. The measure of the strength of the bonding material to hold the wheel in place is known as the wheel grade. All grinding wheels are porous to some degree. This porous quality is known as the structure.
