Engis Grinding Wheels for Barinder Grinder
At Carpenter Brothers, Inc., we proudly supply Engis diamond wheels for the Barinder automatic grinding system—trusted by foundries for years. Now, we’re excited to offer the newly enhanced GEN II diamond crystal, engineered to deliver greater productivity, improved cost efficiency, and extended tool life in demanding foundry environments.
This next-generation diamond technology is designed for cooler cutting action, allowing for more aggressive feed rates and shorter cycle times. The result is increased throughput and stronger economic value for your operation.
GEN II’s longer service life reduces the frequency of wheel changes, helping minimize downtime and keep your grinding process running efficiently.
To further support your operation, our wheel exchange program offers dependable 48-hour fulfillment at refurbished wheel pricing—helping you control costs without sacrificing performance.
Recent case studies show that GEN II abrasives provide up to 25% longer wheel life and produce noticeably whiter cuts compared to other diamond types.
Engis Foundry Robotic Wheels
Low Speed/Low Power grinding wheel —an advanced solution designed to dramatically improve foundry finishing operations.
Engineered for performance and durability, this wheel can replace a minimum of five to ten traditional resin-bonded snagging wheels, depending on gate, riser, and parting line size—reducing changeovers and increasing uptime.
Unlike conventional abrasive products, our Low Speed/Low Power wheel eliminates the need for dressing cycles and produces no particulate discharge during use. Manufactured from 100% inert materials, it offers an environmentally responsible solution with eco-friendly disposal impact.
This innovative design also helps reduce dust collection tonnage by up to 150 pounds per wheel, contributing to a cleaner, safer workspace. By eliminating wheel breakage caused by abuse and removing respiratory hazards associated with particulate discharge, it significantly lowers operator risk and potential lost time.
In addition, the wheel’s lightweight, efficient design improves ergonomics, reduces operator fatigue, and enhances overall workplace safety and comfort.
At Carpenter Brothers, we are committed to delivering grinding solutions that improve productivity, protect your workforce, and support environmental responsibility—all while helping you reduce operational costs. Let us help you upgrade your finishing process with smarter, safer abrasive technology.

About Us
Carpenter Brothers, Inc. is the leading supplier of equipment, consumables, and technical expertise for the metal casting industry. Founded in 1917, by Everett and Milton Carpenter, the brothers were able to use their unique foundry experiences to solve the problem of the day: a reliable sand source. They got their foot in the door by selling natural bonded molding sand, which was mined by hand, loaded into horse-drawn carts, and then delivered to customers. Not only did they sell the sand, but their technical expertise was readily available for all customers, big or small, to help manufacture the best castings. After surviving The Great Depression, Carpenter Brothers, Inc. slowly increased the number of products it distributed and expanded its sales territory into what it is today.
Carpenter Brothers, Inc. has committed itself to its customer's success by providing exceptional service to go along with the superior products and equipment they supply. With multiple warehouses around the United States we can get you the products you need when you need them. Our logistics team can handle getting your order to you by truck, plane, or train. Our technical sales and engineering staff all have experience in the industry, so when you buy from Carpenter Brothers you gain access to all of our knowledge.
