Vincent H40 CNC Profile Wheel – Position 1 Roughing, 140 mm Diameter
The Vincent H40 CNC profile wheel is a 5.51 in. (140 mm) Position 1 fine metal-bond profiling wheel for shaping a CNC edge on granite, engineered stone and natural quartzite.
Diameter: 5.51 in. (140 mm) · Height: 1.73 in. (44 mm) · Bore: 1.38 in. (35 mm)
Vincent publishes no machining parameters we can attach to this part number: the title and the manufacturer sources disagree about what this part is. Rather than print a figure from a neighbouring tool, we have left the feed rate, stock removal and spindle speed off this page.
Key Features
- Position 1 of Vincent's 0–6 set. Positions 0–3 are metal bond and take the edge to shape; positions 4–6 are resin and take it to gloss.
- The softer bond releases spent diamond as it wears instead of polishing over, so the wheel keeps cutting without glazing on dense material such as quartzite and porcelain.
- Fitment: 5.51 in. (140 mm) diameter, 1.73 in. (44 mm) working height, 1.38 in. (35 mm) bore. Vincent sizes its resin polishers to match the metals in the same set, so positions swap without re-setting the tool length.
Who Is This For
A high-production shop programming H40 edges on a CNC and running them in volume. It is a metal-bond wheel: it cuts, and the finish comes from the resin positions that follow it.
It is not a polisher. Position 1 leaves a ground surface by design; the gloss comes from the position 4–6 resin polishers in the same H40 set. Do not try to close the surface by slowing this wheel down — that glazes the bond and shortens its life.
Vincent lists this wheel for granite, engineered stone and natural quartzite. For technical ceramics and Dekton it publishes a separate CERAM range; running a granite bond on ceramic slab is the usual cause of chipping at entry and exit.
Frequently Asked Questions
What feed rate should I run this at?
We are not publishing one. The title and the manufacturer sources disagree about what this part is — so any figure on this page would be carried over from a different tool. Vincent's application guide is organised by position and wheel type, and this part number could not be tied to a row in it.
Will it polish the edge?
No — positions 0–3 are metal bond. They cut the profile; the resin positions 4–6 polish it. Expect a ground surface off this wheel.
Will it hold up on quartzite and porcelain?
That is what the softer bond is for: it releases spent diamond rather than glazing, so the wheel keeps cutting on hard material. Vincent lists the range for granite, engineered stone and natural quartzite.
What bore does it need?
1.38 in. (35 mm). That is the standard Vincent profile-wheel spindle fitting for this range.
Is "engineered stone" the same as quartz?
Yes — engineered stone is Vincent's catalogue wording for quartz surfaces such as Caesarstone, Silestone and Cambria. The wheel is listed for them.
