Patent ID: 10040160

Abstract:
There is described a grinding wheel (1), particularly for grinding operations carried out on sheets of glass (2), ceramic material or similar materials, comprising a disc-shaped support with abrasive material arranged on the circumferential profile of the support, and an opposing central hole (3) for attachment to a drive shaft (4) of the grinding wheel. The disc-shaped support comprises a pair of opposed disc-shaped grinding wheel bodies (5, 6) coupled in a facing position so as to define together the abrasive grinding surface (5c, 6c) along the circumferential profile, and each of the disc-shaped bodies (5, 6) has a predetermined resilience such that the disc-shaped bodies (5, 6) can be flexed away from each other in the zone of contact with the component being ground, for the purpose of consequently applying pressure to the component in the grinding operation.
