Heavy-Removal Bench and Pedestal Grinding Wheels for Metals
Designed to stand up to heavy use, these wheels remove more material than our General Purpose Grinding Wheels.
Wheels are for grinding, deburring, and sharpening. They include one of each reducer bushing listed. The smallest bushing size shown is the smallest allowed for that size wheel.
Wheels for steel and stainless steel are aluminum oxide, which is the most common abrasive used in grinding metal.
Wheels for aluminum, brass, and bronze are silicon carbide, which cuts through soft metals without generating much heat or causing material buildup.
Caution: Use only accessories that have a greater rpm rating than the maximum speed of the grinder you choose.
