Measuring 3 inches in diameter and 1\/4 inch thick with a 1\/4 inch arbor hole, this medium-grade wheel operates at up to 7000 RPM. The rubber bond matrix cushions the abrasive action, producing a smoother surface finish compared to vitrified or resinoid wheels of similar grit. Machinists, fabricators, and metalworking professionals reach for this wheel when surface quality and controlled material removal matter as much as cut rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wheel suits a wide range of bench grinder and rotary tool applications in both shop and field environments. It is particularly well suited for deburring, polishing, removing heat marks and tarnish, smoothing scratches, stripping rust and corrosion, eliminating excess solder, and general finishing operations on metal surfaces. Its compact 3-inch diameter fits smaller spindle setups and allows access to tighter work areas where larger wheels cannot reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSilicon carbide abrasive for effective cutting on ferrous and non-ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRubber bond construction cushions cut and improves surface finish quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMedium grade provides a balance between material removal rate and finish smoothness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 7000 RPM for compatibility with standard bench grinders and rotary tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo-recess wheel profile for straightforward mounting on standard arbors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for corrosion removal, deburring, polishing, and solder cleanup in one wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in corrosion removal, deburring, excess solder removal, heat mark treatment, polishing operations, rust removal, scratch smoothing, and tarnish removal applications on standard 1\/4 inch arbor spindles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist or metalworking technician following applicable ANSI B7.1 safety standards for abrasive wheel mounting. Power off and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use and perform a ring test when applicable. Never exceed the rated 7000 RPM maximum speed marked on the wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasive Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Silicon Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBond Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rubber\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArbor Hole Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Speed\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7000 RPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecess Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: No Recess\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: CRATEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 304 M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CRATEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67909047288114,"sku":"304 M","price":41.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b36087e32af141a4bece1c24c216b944.jpg?v=1791185551","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cratex-304-m-surface-grinding-wheel-3in-silicon-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
