  • a grinding wheel is essentially comprised of a disc-shaped body made of an abrasive mixture bound by a resin, reinforced by reinforcements constituted by one or more fabric nets, by one or two metallic annular elements, commonly known as washers or ring nuts, which delimit the hole for attaching the grinding wheel to the shaft of the cutting machine, and by an optional label made of paper or other applied material commonly used, which adheres to one of the two faces of the grinding wheel (usually to the back one).
  • An object of the present invention is to overcome the mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, within the context of a simple and rational solution and at a contained cost.

  • the drawbacks of the prior art are overcome making available an abrasive grinding wheel, i.e. a cutting disc, with a reducing ring firmly fixed to the abrasive annular body of the grinding wheel itself which can initially have a single attachment hole for all the formats (outer diameters) and types (composition of the abrasive mixtures) in which the grinding wheel can be made, which can then be easily and effectively adapted according to the specific customer requirements and requests.

  • Such firing step where performed following the fixing step (by riveting) of the reducing ring 30 to the annular body 20 is such as not to deform the reducing ring 30.
  • the grinding wheel 10 thus finished or to be finished therefore has an annular body 20 provided with a central hole 21 inside which a reducing ring 30 is firmly fixed, in turn with an attachment hole 32, wherein the attachment hole 32 has the aforesaid diameter D0 (a lot smaller than the minimum diameter of the central hole 21).
  • the method for producing the grinding wheel 10 can, further, envisage the step of applying (see Figure 9e ) a label 25 (self-adhesive or glued) to the rear face of the annular body 20, unless it has been previously applied during the formation of the annular body 20.
  • the label 25, as well as the information related to the grinding wheel 10 can bear customized information related to the retailer and/or the manufacturer or other required information.
  • such solution allows the affixing of customized labels (customer brand) and the specification thereon of the instructions and characteristics of use of the grinding wheel 10.
  • the method finally envisages the step of enlarging the attachment hole 32 of the reducing ring 30.
  • the step of enlarging the attachment hole 32 can be performed through milling (see Figure 9f ).
  • Such milling operation can be performed through a relevant milling tool 50, which has, for example, a milling cutter with increasing diameters, in stretches.
  • the first diameter at the free end of the milling cutter can be equal to the diameter D0 of the attachment hole 32 of the reducing ring 30, in that way the coaxial insertion of the milling cutter in the attachment hole 32 of the reducing ring 30 is guided by the cylindrical coupling between the first diameter and the attachment hole 32 of the reducing ring 30.
  • the attachment hole 32 By axially sinking the milling cutter into the reducing ring as far as the desired axial position corresponding to the diameter of the attachment hole 32, the attachment hole 32 will be enlarged to the desired dimension, e.g. 22 mm, 25 mm or 32 mm or other customizable sizes.
  • the maximum diameter to which it is possible to enlarge the attachment hole 32 is for example less than or equal to 80% of the first diameter d1 of the central hole 21 of the annular body 20.
  • This solution therefore allows the grinding wheel 10 manufacturer to prepare and store grinding wheels 10 provided with a reducing ring 30 having a smaller common attachment hole 32 for a certain type of grinding wheels 10 (e.g. for cutting discs); such attachment hole 32 could have a diameter equal to 20 mm.
  • Such reducing ring 30 provided with the attachment hole 32 common to all would be assembled on all the annular bodies 20 in the quality type variants (e.g. 5-6 different abrasive mixtures), in fact constituting a stock of grinding wheels 10 to be finished, whose finalization can envisage only the preparation (enlargement) of the attachment hole 32, also of a few dozen pieces at a time, quickly and cheaply when an order from the distributor/customer is finalized.
  • the quality type variants e.g. 5-6 different abrasive mixtures
