Mounted Points Selection Guide

Selection guide

How to choose mounted points for die grinders and internal grinding

Mounted points are selected by the area they must reach, the amount of stock to remove, the required finish and the machine setup. A good RFQ should connect shape, size, grit and shank details to the real application.

Selection factors

What buyers should confirm before quotation

Shape and access

Cylindrical, round-nose, bullet, cone and W-series forms are chosen by bore access, corner radius, cavity profile and the area that needs finishing.

Shank and overhang

Common mounted-point shanks include 3 mm and 6 mm. The unsupported overhang and machine RPM must be confirmed before use.

Abrasive grain

Aluminum Oxide, White Aluminum Oxide, Pink Aluminum Oxide and Silicon Carbide options are matched to work material and finish expectation.

Grit and finish

Coarser grit supports faster burr or stock removal, while finer grit supports blending, finishing and controlled surface work.

Bond and hardness

Vitrified bond references are common for mounted points, but final grade and hardness should match speed, heat and material behavior.

Repeat supply reference

Once a shape and grit works, record the shape code, dimensions, grain, grit, shank and application notes for easier repeat orders.

Application fit

Common uses covered by this guide

Use the guide as a starting point, then confirm final abrasive specification against the material, machine RPM, finish target and quantity requirement.

Die and mold cavity finishing

Internal bore grinding

RFQ checklist

Include these details for faster selection

  • Shape code or sample photo
  • Body diameter and body length
  • Shank diameter and required overhang
  • Abrasive grain and grit if known
  • Work material, machine RPM and quantity
