A rough grinding wheel for processing material surfaces includes a wheel-shaped base body having a central recess penetrated by an axis of rotation for direct or indirect connection to a drive shaft of a tool. The rough grinding wheel has a stabilizing core stabilizing the rough grinding wheel. The stabilizing core is associated with at least one abrasive layer circumferentially adjacent to the central recess. The stabilizing core has a higher strength than the at least one abrasive layer.

A grinding tool has a main body having at least one fiber ply embedded in a binder. An abrasive layer is arranged on the main body. The at least one fiber ply is arranged in the binder in a partially movable manner. As a result, a relative movement that ensures high vibration and noise damping is achieved within the main body and within the at least one fiber ply.

A bonded abrasive wheel is disclosed comprising a plurality of abrasive particles disposed in a binder, a first grinding surface, a second surface opposing the first grinding surface, and an outer circumference. The wheel comprises a rotational axis extending through a central hub and a circuit configured as a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) unit coupled to the abrasive wheel. The circuit comprises an antenna configured to communicate with one or more external devices and comprising a first end and a second end, wherein antenna has a radius of curvature about an axis along at least a portion thereof such that the first end is disposed adjacent to but is spaced from the second end, and an integrated circuit (IC) operably coupled to the antenna and configured to store at least a first data.
