Origin

IPA set out to make a grinding wheel that was strong, long lasting, and could be used from multiple angles, unlike standard grinding wheels that have one grinding surface, are made from various bonded materials, break apart, become smaller the longer they are used, and are prone to damage. IPA also designed the grinding wheel to save users time and expenses not only through durability, but also versatility.
