Bullard 14568 Type 27 Turbo Pipeline Wheel 5 in Zirconia

Product Description

The BULLARD 14568 is a Type 27 depressed center turbo pipeline wheel engineered for combination cutting and light grinding in a single application. Built with premium zirconia abrasive, it delivers consistent stock removal and smooth surface finishes without requiring a wheel change between operations. The 5-inch diameter wheel runs at a maximum of 12200 RPM and mounts via a 5/8-11 arbor, fitting standard right-angle grinders common in pipeline and fabrication work. At 0.65 pounds, it is light enough for sustained overhead and positional work. Fabricators, pipefitters, and welders use this wheel where switching between grinding and cut-off discs would slow production.

The 14568 is suited for pipeline fabrication, structural steel prep, and weld dressing where a single wheel must handle both cutting passes and light grinding cleanup. The turbo segment geometry improves airflow across the wheel face, reducing heat buildup and extending service life in continuous-use scenarios. It is sold in a minimum quantity of 10 per order, making it appropriate for shop stocking and field crew kits handling repetitive weld prep or pipe fitting tasks.

Key Features

• Type 27 depressed center profile allows flush grinding and controlled cut-off in one wheel
• Premium zirconia abrasive for consistent cut rate and surface finish on steel and pipe
• Turbo segment design reduces heat buildup and extends wheel life under continuous use
• 12200 RPM max speed rating compatible with standard right-angle grinders
• 5/8-11 arbor mount fits common grinder spindle threads
• Eliminates wheel changes between cutting and grinding operations

Compatibility

Designed for use on standard right-angle grinders with a 5/8-11 spindle thread accepting a 5-inch Type 27 depressed center wheel.

Installation Notes

Installation and wheel changes must be performed with the grinder powered off and unplugged or the battery pack removed. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before mounting and never exceed the rated 12200 RPM. ANSI B7.1 safety standards apply to abrasive wheel mounting and use. Always use the appropriate guard and wear face and eye protection during operation.
