Bullard 28969 Turbo Pipeline Grinding Wheel 9 Inch

Product Description

The BULLARD 28969 is a Type 27 depressed-center turbo pipeline grinding wheel built for combination cutting and light grinding in a single application. Sized at 9 inches in diameter with a 1/4-inch thickness and a 5/8-11 arbor, this wheel runs at a maximum of 6500 RPM on angle grinders used in pipeline and metal fabrication work. The long-life metal grinding bond is engineered to deliver a smooth surface finish and consistent stock removal, letting the operator stay focused on the weld joint without swapping wheels mid-task.

This wheel is suited for pipeline welding prep and weld dressing on metal substrates in both field and shop environments. The turbo configuration makes it effective for trades that need to transition between light grinding and cut-off work in the same pass, such as pipefitters, ironworkers, and welding contractors working on carbon steel pipe, structural steel, and similar ferrous materials. Its Type 27 depressed-center profile keeps the grinding face at the correct angle for flat and slightly curved workpieces.

Key Features

• Type 27 depressed-center design for low-angle flat and pipe-surface grinding
• Turbo bond construction allows combination cutting and light grinding without a wheel change
• 9-inch diameter with 1/4-inch thickness and 5/8-11 threaded arbor for standard angle grinder compatibility
• 6500 RPM maximum rated speed for use on common heavy-duty angle grinders
• Long-life metal grinding formulation for extended wheel life on ferrous metals
• Delivers smooth grind finish with strong operator control in demanding pipeline applications

Compatibility

Designed for use on angle grinders accepting a 5/8-11 arbor and rated for Type 27 depressed-center wheels operating at or below 6500 RPM on metal and pipeline applications.

Installation Notes

Mounting and use of abrasive grinding wheels must comply with ANSI B7.1 standards and the grinder manufacturer's published speed and guard requirements. Always inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before mounting, and never exceed the rated maximum RPM marked on the wheel. Wear appropriate eye, face, and hand protection during use. Power down and disconnect the grinder from its power source before mounting or removing the wheel.
