Angular diamond wheels FEPA 1E1 and 1EE1 are specialized sintered grinding tools, primarily used in artistic glassworking and the optical industry for precise edge grinding, beveling, faceting, and decorative glass shaping. Their angular profile allows for detailed processing of complex patterns, reliefs, and chamfered edges, giving glass a unique artistic appearance.
Beyond artistic glassworking, 1E1 and 1EE1 diamond wheels are also widely used in optical, technical, and industrial applications, enabling precise edge grinding of quartz glass, optical lenses, technical ceramics, and hard metals.
They are available in various angles, bonds, and sizes to meet the specific requirements for both coarse and fine material processing.
Body Variants:
✅ Standard angular profile (1E1) – ideal for precise beveling and faceting of glass.
✅ Double angular profile (1EE1) – provides greater efficiency and stability for more demanding grinding applications.
✅ Reinforced body – increased stability for intensive grinding operations.
✅ Lightweight body – optimized for high-speed grinding with reduced weight.
✅ Variable angle and diamond layer width – adaptable for fine engraving or aggressive material removal.
Available Bond Types:
✅ Metal bond – highly durable, suitable for coarse grinding of glass, carbides, and ceramics.
✅ Resin bond – softer grinding, ideal for fine finishing and polishing of glass surfaces.
✅ Hybrid bond – combines the benefits of metal and resin bonds for a balanced material removal rate and long tool life.
✅ Special alloy formulations – optimized for artistic glassworking and precision decorative applications.
