Superabrasive Wheels

Diamond and CBN High-Quality Products for Precision & Performance

Saint-Gobain Surface Conditioning offers a full range of diamond and CBN products for superabrasive wheels and grinding tools. From precision grinding to critical finishing, Saint-Gobain’s highly engineered diamond and CBN abrasive powders deliver consistent and reliable performance in technically demanding wheel and tool applications.

Our ABC Warren brand products are designed for various bond technologies and specific requirements:

Resin Bond Mesh Diamond — Semi-blocky friable diamond that continually breaks down, forming new sharp cutting edges when used on a wide variety of non-ferrous materials for cutting tools.
Metal Bond Mesh Diamond — Diamond crystal recommended for more demanding grinding applications requiring the best balance of free cutting and wheel life.
Metal Bond Saw Grit Diamond — Diamond with the same benefits of metal bond mesh, but with a more controlled crystal shape for consistent cutting performance.
Natural Bond Mesh and Micron Diamond — Diamond mined from the natural source, for applications where sharp and free cutting as well as low intrinsic impurities are required.
Cubic Boron Nitride Diamond — Designed for use in all types of bond formulations for grinding or cutting of hardened steels and super alloys.
