Not sure if this is the best forum for this question but I'll try as I'm not sure where else to post.
I am designing a process and production machine to cut 1/8" wide x 5/32" deep x 8" (full length) grooves in vitrified ceramic building brick using 12" dia diamond wheels. Cut would be done is a single pass. I would like to have the option of feeding in either the "climb" or "conventional" direction. I am familiar with the pluses and minuses of milling in these two ways, but not in "grinding". Assuming I have good feed control (no backlash)and coolant coming in aligned with the rotational direction of the wheel, will there be any plus or minus between the two methods (wheel wear?, chatter?, etc?)?
