CNC profile wheels shape bullnose, ogee, and bevel edges on stone countertops — diameter and bond selection drive finish quality.
Visible countertop edges define the aesthetic of every kitchen and bathroom installation. CNC profile wheels from Protec Tools shape bullnose, ogee, dupont, and bevel profiles in a single programmed pass, replacing hours of hand profiling on busy fabrication shop floors.
Profile Wheel Selection
Match wheel outer diameter to the CNC spindle manufacturer recommended range. Undersized wheels over-stress the spindle bearings; oversized wheels reduce profile resolution on tight inside radii.
- Bullnose wheels: Full and half bullnose profiles on 20–30 mm stone thickness.
- Ogee wheels: Decorative profiles requiring two-stage rough and finish passes.
- Bevel wheels: Standard 45-degree and custom-angle chamfers for mitered edges.
Programming and Feed Rate
Profile wheels remove more material per pass than flat grinding wheels. Program conservative feed rates on the first pass, especially on quartz and porcelain where chipping occurs at profile transitions.
Shop Checklist
- Verify wheel profile matches the customer approved edge sample.
- Run adequate water flow to prevent heat cracks at profile corners.
- Inspect segment wear after each slab; uneven wear causes profile distortion.
- Keep dedicated profile wheels for soft marble separate from granite wheels.
Protec Tools supplies profile wheels with replaceable segments for high-volume shops. Request a profile catalog for your CNC model.
