An outer blade cutting wheel includes an annular thin disc base and a blade section of bonded abrasive grains formed on the periphery of the base. The blade section includes widthwise side portions each of which is provided with channels extending from an inner perimeter to an outer perimeter of the blade section. The cutting wheel is capable of cutoff machining at a high feed speed while maintaining a high accuracy and a low cutting load.

A method of making a bonded abrasive article comprises urging crushed abrasive particles with agitation against the surface of a tool, thereby causing a first portion of crushed abrasive particles to become retained within horizontally-oriented precisely-shaped cavities at predetermined locations with respect to the surface of the tool, and causing a second portion of the crushed abrasive particles to remain as loose particles on the surface of the tool. The loose particles are separated from the tool. The tool is positioned within a mold containing a curable binder material precursor. The crushed abrasive particles retained in the precisely-shaped cavities into the mold are released, and the tool is removed from the mold. The crushed abrasive particles and the curable binder material precursor are shaped and cured to form the bonded abrasive article. A bonded abrasive article preparable by the method is also disclosed.

A diamond cutting tool (200; 200) for enabling a fast cutting start may include a rotatable main body (210) and a cutting portion (220). The rotatable main body may include a substantially circular periphery. The cutting portion may include an interlocking support assembly (280) and a plurality of notched cutters (270). The notched cutters may be disposed around the circular periphery extending outwardly from the main body. The notched cutters (270) may be formed of a first diamond-metal matrix. The interlocking support assembly (280) may be provided radially outwardly of the notched cutters and may include a softer diamond-metal matrix and/or a different diamond concentration therein than the first diamond-metal matrix. The interlocking support assembly may include a reinforcement portion (284) disposed between the notched cutters (270) and a top section (282) covering radially distal portions of the notched cutters.

A cutting or grinding tool includes a blade. The blade includes a disc-shaped base metal, cutting or grinding tips (edges) provided on a peak (outer circumferential edge) of the base metal, and a protruding coating on a side face of the base metal along the entire outer circumference of the base metal.

This method for manufacturing a cutting blade includes: a mixing step of adding a liquid dispersion medium to a mixed powder containing a resin powder of a thermocompression-bondable resin, abrasive grains and fibrous fillers; a compression step of cold pressing, in a forming die, the mixed powder to which the dispersion medium has been added to form an original plate of a blade main body; and a sintering step of hot pressing and sintering the original plate.
