What does Simaflex make?

Conical cup wheels, straight cup wheels (ring cup wheels), cup wheels for 45° tile mitres, snail-lock edge grinding wheels, drip groove wheels, profile wheels, semi-flexible discs and dressing wheels for diamond tools. Every family is also made to drawing.

What is silicon carbide and why is it used on marble?

Silicon carbide is a very hard synthetic abrasive with a sharp, friable grain: it is the C in our grit sizes from C16 to C400. On marble and granite it cuts without loading and leaves an even surface, which is why it is the grain of all our cup wheels, edge wheels, semi-flexible discs and profile wheels.

Aluminium oxide and carborundum: what is the difference?

Carborundum is the historical name of silicon carbide, the grain we use for marble, granite and porcelain. Aluminium oxide (corundum) is tougher: we use it in the dressing and truing wheels for diamond tools, in grits from A16 to A220. Two abrasives, two different jobs.
