The Standard Disc

Manufactured with 100% diamond particles and secured with a durable electroplated nickel bond, these discs deliver exceptional cutting power and longevity.The Standard™ series offers versatility with an optional 1/4" - 20 threaded screwback mount that maximizes the usable disc surface by eliminating central arbor interference. This uninterrupted cutting surface accommodates larger workpieces and provides greater flexibility for demanding applications.

Solid Steel Disc

The Solid Steel Disc delivers uncompromising precision for the most demanding faceting applications.Each disc is manufactured to be absolutely flat and parallel, meeting the strictest tolerances required for professional-grade work. Built for durability, these discs feature a corrosion-resistant copper undercoating that protects against oxidation and extends service life. The standard configuration includes a 1/2" arbor hole, with custom arbor sizes available upon request. Available in 6" and 8" diameters with mesh options ranging from 60 to 3000 grit, providing complete flexibility for all stages of your cutting and polishing process. Additional sizes available to accommodate specialized applications.

Master Lap

The Master Lap™ serves as the essential foundation for your precision lapidary work.Ground flat and parallel to exacting specifications, this robust base plate provides the stable platform required for mounting and supporting other specialized laps. Constructed with a substantial 7/16" thickness for maximum rigidity and vibration dampening, the Master Lap™ comes uncharged, allowing you to customize your setup with the abrasive systems of your choice. Available in 6", 8", and 12" diameters to accommodate various workshop configurations and project requirements. Additional sizes available for specialized applications.

Crystal Cut Additive

Crystalcut™ water additive and rust inhibitor is the professional's choice for optimizing diamond wheel performance and longevity.Specifically formulated for use with diamond wheels, saw blades, and discs in wet cutting applications, this advanced formula enhances cutting efficiency while providing essential corrosion protection. The concentrated powder formula offers exceptional value and convenience—simply mix 1 ounce of Crystalcut™ with each gallon of water for optimal results. This specialized additive helps maintain clean cutting action, extends tool life, and prevents rust formation on your valuable equipment. Available in sizes ranging from convenient 1oz packets to economical 10lb bags, ensuring you have the right quantity for any application, from small hobby projects to large-scale commercial operations.
Our Capabilites

Customized Solutions for Unique Challenges

Every aircraft engine type and component comes with its unique challenges, but with our deep well of experience, we are adept at creating solutions tailor-made to fit your needs. Our custom offerings range from designing and coating blades, seal teeth, and Integrated Bladed Rotors (IBRs).

Advanced Technology for Efficient Production

In the lean manufacturing landscape of today's aerospace and defense industries, efficient production is a must. That's where our plated Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) grinding technology comes in. Perfectly suited for short production runs, our CBN wheels are the go-to choice for close tolerance form grinding applications, enabling the machining of difficult materials such as nickel, cobalt, and titanium alloys.

Aerospace & Defense Products

Serving Aerospace & Defense with Precision

Our extensive expertise spans the design and production of electroplated form wheels used for grinding turbine blades and other engine components. Our precision-crafted products don't just meet the high standards of the aerospace and defense industries; they define them.

Industries We Serve

Trusted dental brands for everyday practices

From general procedure to working with Zirconia, Abrasive Technology offers many branded products that satisfy the needs of everyday dentistry.

Our legacy Two Striper® brand offers our signature multi-use burs for general procedure and Zirconia crowns, along with a full collection of finishing and polishing products.

For more information (or) to purchase, please contact our valued distributors.

General Procedure Bur

As the original P.B.S.® brazed dental burs, Two Striper® burs set the standard for quality, consistency, and feel.

TSZtech™

The proprietary diamond grit of TSZtech™ diamonds is specially designed to cut quickly and safely through today’s new generation of tougher ceramic materials, including Lithium Disilicate and Zirconia crowns.

Stainbuster®

The innovative composite bur made of zircon-rich glass fiber features permanent abrasive power for minimal invasive dentistry, removing cement and stains from tooth surface with no damage to enamel, ceramics or soft tissues.

Posts

With their elastic modulus and flexural strength close to dentin, Snowpost® & Snowlight® posts follow the movement of the tooth, preventing tensions, fractures and other problems. Carbopost® is a fiber reinforced composite post that’s as strong as metal and reduces shear stress by 50% by transmitting stress progressively and regularly.

Diamond Finishing Strips

Hand-held autoclaveable diamond finishing instrument strips away excess material from adjacent proximal surfaces and features an uncoated “safe center” to provide easy access through contact points.

Compo-Disc®

With extremely tight contacts, Compo-Disc® can improve access for safe-sided, edge and face-cutting.

Luminescence®

With its optimal concentration of micron-sized diamond particles, Luminescence® is a single-gel diamond polishing system that polishes all restorative surfaces in minutes – even porcelain.
