Geometry reference for an RFQ

Diamond & CBN Grinding Wheel Shape Guide

QUICK ANSWER

Shape codes are useful RFQ references, but they do not replace a confirmed drawing. Send the code together with OD, thickness, bore, rim width, profile details and the machine interface.

Buyer guide

Use the right starting information.

Each block is written as procurement guidance and should be confirmed against the complete application.

STRAIGHT / PROFILE

1A1 · 1V1 · 14A1

Common references for peripheral, surface and selected profile-grinding requirements.

  • Confirm rim location and width
  • Send angle or profile detail
  • State maximum speed
CUP / DISH

6A2 · 11V9 · 12V9

Common references for face, tool, cutter and edge-grinding requirements.

  • Confirm cup depth and clearance
  • Send abrasive rim section
  • Check machine guard and interface
INTERNAL / CUSTOM

Internal · Mounted · Custom profile

Special configurations should start from a drawing, current wheel, sample information or machine interface.

  • Confirm shank or bore
  • Send full profile dimensions
  • Identify operating speed

Direct buyer answers

Clear enough to use before the sales call.

Visible answers support procurement review, search discovery and AI-generated summaries without hiding the application limits.

Is the shape code enough for production?

No. The code is a starting geometry reference. Final production should use confirmed dimensions, profile, abrasive rim, interface and maximum operating information.

What if I do not know the shape code?

Send clear front, side, bore and rim photos with dimensions or a scale reference. A drawing is recommended for critical profiles.

Can a custom profile be reviewed?

Yes. Send the wheel or workpiece drawing, contact profile, tolerance, machine and current application details for feasibility review.

Ready to apply the guide?

Send what you know. Confirm the gaps together.

A drawing helps, but a wheel label, photo, material or machine can also start the review.
