INGCO WGP115-300-VRK Water Grinding Pad WGP115-300-VRK

The designation WGP115-300-VRK  refers to a water grinding pad, a specific model within a product line. Here’s a breakdown of what the name and its possible function:

Breakdown of the Name:

• WGP: This  stands for “Water Grinding Pad.”
• 115: This  indicates the size dimension (diameter in millimeters) .
• 300: This is another size dimension (thickness in millimeters) .
• VRK: This is specific product line code within the WGP range or a code indicating variations in material, grit, or other features.

Possible Components of a Water Grinding Pad (Generally):

• Backing: A rigid base material that provides support and allows for attachment to a grinding machine ( plastic or rubber).
• Diamond or Grinding Particles: These are embedded throughout the backing and provide the abrasive cutting power for grinding. Diamonds are often used for superior cutting performance and durability, while other materials like silicon carbide might be used for specific applications.
• Bonding Agent: Holds the grinding particles securely onto the backing.

How a Water Grinding Pad Works:

1. Attachment: The water grinding pad is secured to a compatible grinding machine (usually designed for wet grinding applications).
2. Water Flow: Water is supplied during the grinding process. It serves multiple purposes:
   • Lubrication: Reduces friction and heat buildup between the pad and the work piece.
   • Cooling: Keeps the grinding pad and work piece cool, preventing heat damage to the material being ground.
   • Swarf Removal: Washes away debris (ground material) created during the grinding process, maintaining a clean cutting surface.
3. Grinding Action: As the machine spins the pad, the abrasive particles come into contact with the work piece, grinding and smoothing the surface.

Applications of Water Grinding Pads:

Water grinding pads are used for various grinding and polishing tasks on hard materials, often in conjunction with water for a wet grinding process. Here are some common applications:

• Stone and Concrete Grinding: Smoothing and shaping stone countertops, concrete floors, and other stonework.
• Granite and Marble Polishing: Bringing a high-shine finish to granite, marble, and other natural stone surfaces.
• Metal Grinding and Deburring: Removing imperfections, smoothing surfaces, and deburring (removing sharp edges) on metal parts.
