Baldor Motor b73 Grinding Wheel 7 Inches 36 Grit

Product Description

The BALDOR MOTOR b73 is a general purpose grinding wheel designed for use on bench and pedestal grinders in industrial and trade shop environments. Built from aluminum oxide abrasive grain, this wheel measures 7 inches in diameter and carries a 36 grit rating, making it well suited for aggressive stock removal on steel and alloy steel workpieces. Licensed machinists, fabricators, maintenance techs, and HVAC or plumbing shops with in-house fabrication benches are the primary users. The coarse 36 grit construction prioritizes material removal rate over surface finish, which is typical for rough grinding and deburring applications.

This wheel is intended for general purpose grinding tasks where durability and consistent cut are required. It performs well on ferrous metals including mild steel and alloy steel. It is a common choice in maintenance and repair operations where technicians need a dependable abrasive wheel for shaping, sharpening, and deburring metal components on a standard bench or pedestal grinder setup.

Installation Notes

Grinding wheel mounting should be performed by a qualified technician following ANSI B7.1 safety standards for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels. Always power down and disconnect the grinder before mounting or changing a wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before installation and perform a ring test to confirm structural integrity.
