Form Grinding Applications

Quality Diamond Plated Products specialises in electro deposited tools for applications when repeated specific forms of close tolerances are required, being concave - convex or a combination of shapes.
The advantages of electro-deposited wheels are:

A: No True-ing or dressing wheels required
B: Plated form wheel holes tolerance continually
C: Grinding can be done dry
D: Wheel can be stripped and recoated
