Professional Abrasive Mounted Points for Deburring, Grinding and Precision Machining
Vitrified and resin bonded mounted points are among the most versatile and widely used abrasive solutions in the mechanical industry. Thanks to their shank design, they allow precise machining even in difficult-to-reach areas such as holes, grooves, seats and internal cavities, where other abrasive tools may be ineffective or unsuitable.
For over 60 years, FAIOT has been designing and manufacturing mounted points for professional applications, developing both standard and customised solutions to meet the requirements of companies operating in a wide range of industrial sectors. Each abrasive product is engineered to achieve the best balance between material removal capacity, machining precision, service life and reliability, helping to improve productivity and final quality.
Available with vitrified or resin bonds, FAIOT mounted points can be produced in a wide range of shapes, dimensions and technical specifications, allowing them to be adapted to the specific requirements of each application.
When to Use a Mounted Point
FAIOT mounted points are designed for use on straight grinders, pneumatic tools, electric tools and dedicated machines for precision machining operations. Their shape and design allow excellent control even in hard-to-reach areas, making them ideal for localised machining operations and finishing applications.
They are particularly suitable for:
- deburring of metal components
- localised grinding operations
- internal machining
- surface finishing
- tool sharpening
- cleaning of castings
- removal of imperfections
- precision machining operations
Thanks to the wide range of available shapes and grit sizes, FAIOT mounted points can be used both for high-volume production processes and for applications requiring a high level of precision.
The Advantages of FAIOT Mounted Points
Choosing the right abrasive directly affects machining quality and production costs. For this reason, FAIOT develops mounted points designed to deliver consistent performance even in the most demanding applications.
The main advantages are:
- high machining precision
- excellent accessibility even in hard-to-reach areas
- long tool life
- uniform abrasive wear
- high stability during machining operations
- wide range of shapes and dimensions available
- possibility of customised solutions
Each product is developed by considering the actual operating conditions, providing an effective and reliable solution for every specific application.
Vitrified or Resin Bonded Mounted Points?
One of the most important aspects when choosing a mounted point is the type of bond used. Vitrified and resin bonded versions have different characteristics, making them more suitable for specific machining applications
Vitrified Mounted Points
FAIOT vitrified mounted points are particularly suitable for applications requiring high precision, geometric stability and consistent results.
They are the ideal solution for:
- precision machining
- grinding operations
- controlled finishing
- applications with tight tolerances
Thanks to the rigidity of the bond, they maintain their shape over time and ensure excellent surface quality on the machined component.
Resin Bonded Mounted Points
FAIOT resin bonded mounted points are characterised by greater elasticity, allowing them to perform effectively in applications requiring high cutting performance and greater adaptability.
They are particularly used for:
- stainless steel machining
- foundry applications
- deburring operations
- rapid material removal
This type of abrasive solution is often the best choice when it is necessary to combine high productivity with long tool life.
Machinable Materials
FAIOT mounted points are designed to work on a wide range of materials, adapting the abrasive composition, grit size, hardness and structure to the specific requirements of each application.
They can be used on:
- carbon steel
- stainless steel
- hardened steel
- cast iron
- castings
- special alloys
- non-ferrous materials
Each material has different characteristics and requires a specific abrasive solution. For this reason, our technical department supports customers in selecting the most suitable solution, evaluating the type of machine used, machining speed and the desired final result.
Available Shapes and Dimensions
Each machining application requires a specific abrasive geometry. For this reason, FAIOT manufactures mounted points in a wide range of shapes and dimensions, designed to meet different production requirements and adapt to the main tools available on the market.
The product range includes both standard solutions and customised designs developed according to customer specifications when the application requires particular characteristics.
The main available types include:
- cylindrical mounted points
- conical mounted points
- ogive-shaped mounted points
- spherical mounted points
- domed mounted points
- pointed mounted points
- special shapes according to drawing
Each geometry is designed to provide the best balance between material removal capacity, surface accessibility and machining control.
Thanks to its experience in the production of technical abrasives, FAIOT supports customers in selecting the most suitable shape, evaluating not only the workpiece to be machined, but also the machine used, peripheral speed and the required final result.
Why Choose a Customised Grinding Wheel?
Many companies have been using the same grinding wheel for years simply because “it has always worked.”
However, a different formulation can increase tool life, improve surface finish quality and reduce machining times.
Our technical department helps you identify the most suitable abrasive solution.
Why Choose FAIOT Mounted Points
For over sixty years, we have been developing abrasive solutions for the mechanical industry, working with companies that require reliability, quality and consistent production performance.
Choosing FAIOT means relying on:
- Italian manufacturing since 1961
- A wide range of standard products
- Customised solutions
- Direct technical support
- Consistent quality over time
- Assistance in selecting the most suitable abrasive solution
We do not offer a “one-size-fits-all” product. Instead, we analyse each customer’s machining process to identify the most effective and reliable solution.
A Photo Can Save Us Valuable Time
If you have a photo of the grinding wheel you are currently using, the label or the packaging, please attach it to your request. In most cases, this allows us to quickly identify the product and evaluate an equivalent or improved solution.
If you do not have any photos available, no problem: describe your machining process and we will guide you in choosing the most suitable abrasive solution.
