Consequently, KADIA develops high-quality metal-bonded diamond and CBN abrasive stones that give perfect honing results. The extreme hardness of the superabrasive materials combined with our superior workmanship guarantee: Constant high precision due to good dimensional stability Unsurpassed dimensional, geometrical and surface accuracies Economical operation due to long tool life Outstanding self-sharpening effect Reliability even in heavy-duty multiple shift factory operation with a high level of automation Productivity due to the exceptionally high chip removal capacity The abrasive stones are available in a wide range of dimensions, shapes and variants – optimally adapted to the workpiece materials and the machining tasks of our customers. We distinguish between three basic types: standard honing stones for fitting on stone carriers, honing stones with expanding profile ready for installation and special honing stones for specific honing applications Expansion profile Honing stones These types of stones are ready for installation, with steel bodies that are already ground with a tapered expansion angle. This type of hone is mainly used with tools having diameters less than 15 mm. On request, all expansion profile honing stones can be delivered finish-ground to the required diameter to ensure a precision fit in the tool body.
