APEXX Slotted Brazed Z Wheel – Z45 x 80 mm, 35 mm Bore, Position 1, #50 Grit
APEXX Slotted Brazed Z Wheel – Z45 x 80 mm, 35 mm Bore, Position 1, #50 Grit
The APEXX Slotted Brazed Z Wheel Z45 x 80 mm is a vacuum-brazed diamond CNC profiling wheel with a 45 mm diamond height, 80 mm diameter and standard 35 mm bore, in #50 grit for position 1 roughing of a flat (Z) edge on 4 cm stone. Ocean Diamond publishes it for wet use only.
This is the brazed, position-1 wheel. For the finer position-2 pass Ocean Diamond makes the same geometry in #100 grit under a separate item number, and for a sintered segmented wheel of the same Z45 x 80 mm size see the APEXX Super Z Wheel – Z45 x 80 mm, 35 mm Bore, Position 1, Segmented. Brazed diamond is a single bonded layer: Ocean Diamond states it stays straight and never loses shape, and lasts far longer than an electroplated wheel, but it does not renew itself the way a sintered segment does.
Key Features
- Z45: 45 mm diamond height, for 4 cm (1-1/2 in.) material
- 80 mm (3.15 in.) diameter
- 35 mm (1.38 in.) bore, Ocean Diamond's standard arbor
- Slotted rim for water flow and swarf clearance
- #50 grit, position 1
- Vacuum-brazed diamond; Ocean Diamond states the diamond layer stays straight and never loses shape
- Wet use only
- Ocean Diamond materials: engineered stone, granite, marble, limestone, quartzite, ultra-compact surfaces
Who Is This For?
CNC shops running flat-polish (Z) edges on 4 cm tops who want a fast roughing wheel that holds its geometry across a wide material mix, including quartzite and ultra-compact, without the cost of a sintered segmented wheel.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do Z45, D80 and D35 mean?
Z45 is the 45 mm diamond height, sized for 4 cm stone. D80 is the 80 mm wheel diameter. D35 is the 35 mm bore, Ocean Diamond's standard CNC arbor.
Which position is #50 grit?
Position 1. Ocean Diamond publishes #50 grit as position 1 and #100 grit as position 2 across the brazed Z wheel range.
Can I run it dry?
No. Ocean Diamond specifies wet use only.
Brazed or Super Z segmented?
Both are Z45 x 80 mm with a 35 mm bore. The brazed wheel is a single diamond layer at a lower price; the sintered Super Z wheel carries segments that wear down and expose fresh diamond over a longer life. Ocean Diamond states the brazed layer stays straight and outlasts electroplated wheels.
Which materials?
Ocean Diamond lists engineered stone, granite, marble, limestone, quartzite and ultra-compact surfaces.
