Electroplated diamond and CBN grinding points are used for both wet and dry grinding. Cylindrical mounted points with tungsten carbide shanks are used for internal grinding on stationary machines. The modulus of elasticity of the tungsten carbide shank is approximately three times higher than that of a steel shank. The modulus of elasticity indicates the amount of deformation a body undergoes as a result of a given load. In internal grinding applications, tools with a tungsten carbide shank offer higher stock removal rates, superior surfaces and more precise shape and position tolerances. N= non-stepped shank
