Cutting with a grinding wheel is counter-productive as it wears out the tool and the abrasive prematurely. Select an appropriate tool for your application.
In a steel foundry, grinding ingates is a very heavy-duty job. The best way to improve productivity is to find a tool solution that cuts as flush as possible.

Fettling turns a raw casting into a functional component. After removing the molds, the process starts with degating and surface cleaning to remove excess material and achieve the desired basic shape. The part can then be heat treated depending on requirements of the final application. Precise finishing, adjustment, chamfering, and deburring is then carried out to attain the desired surface finish for coating or painting.
