Abstract: The invention relates to a resin bonded cut-off tool. The resin bonded cut-off tool comprises rod shaped sintered bauxite abrasives, wherein an amount of the rod shaped sintered bauxite abrasives is at least 10% to 90% by weight, based on 100% by weight of a Grinding Active Matrix (GAM) of the cut-off tool. The resin bonded cut-off tool comprises further a bonding agent in an amount of 10% to 40% by weight, based on 100% by weight of the GAM of the cut-off tool and fused and/or sintered abrasives in an amount sufficient to bring the GAM of the cut-off tool to 100% by weight.

Abstract: A method of abrading a workpiece includes: contacting a metallic workpiece, having a bulk temperature of less than 500 degrees Celsius, with a stationary rotating bonded abrasive wheel having a diameter of at least 150 millimeters, wherein the bonded abrasive wheel comprises ceramic shaped abrasive particles retained in a binder, and wherein metallic swarf is formed, and at least 20 percent by weight of the metallic swarf is filamentary metallic swarf having a length of at least 3 mm.
