Abstract

Grinding stones for rubber comminuting machines are segmented and are applied to backing plates using adhesives. Greater stone life is realized when compared to grinding devices which use mechanical clamps to hold the stones against the plate, and less breakage is encountered using segmented stones than similarly shaped unitary stones known to the art. In the most preferred embodiment, the area between adjacent ends of the stone segments are filled with the same adhesive used to adhere the stones to the backing plates.
