Characteristics |
| A |
 |
Regular aluminum oxide, is used for general purposes of mild steel, cast-iron etc. |
| WA |
|
White aluminum oxide, is used for light grinding of all kinds, particularly on hard, heat-sensitive steels. |
| C |
|
Black silicon carbide. Used for grinding gray iron, nonferrous metals and nonmetallic materials such as glass, rubber, stones etc. |
| GC |
|
Green silicon carbide, is well suited for special alloy grinding such as tungsten carbide, cold-rolled steels, sapphire, glass, gem and granite. |

Characteristics |
V
(Vitrified) |
Most common bond for precision grinding porosity and strength of the wheels made with this bond give high stock removal along with their rigidity helping to attain high precision. Not affected by water, acid, oils or ordinary temperature variations. |
B
(Resinoid) |
Used for wheels in fabrication shops, foundries, billet shops, sharpening and gumming saws, and in many precision applications. These wheels excel in rapid stock removal as well as in applications requiring better finishes. This bond is also restricted to reinforced resinoid products, cut-off wheels, or specially formulated products. |
R
(Rubber) |
Used for most centerless feed wheels, precision ball race grinding wheels, and for snagging with portable grinders. Used where finish is important and for cut-off wheels where burr and burn must be held to a minimum. |
MgO
(Magnesia
Oxychloride) |
A notable bond used for cutlery or particularly thin workpiece, marble surface grinding and superfinishing. |
