Built with aluminum oxide abrasive at 36 grit, this wheel falls in the very coarse grade range, making it well suited for aggressive stock removal, weld grinding, and surface prep on steel and similar ferrous metals. At 7 inches in diameter and 1\/4 inch thick, with a 7\/8 inch arbor hole, it mounts directly to standard angle grinder spindles. The hard wheel hardness rating extends wheel life under sustained contact pressure, and the specification grade A36MTX reflects a bonded abrasive formulation built for consistent cut rate throughout the wheel life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 40045 is used in metal fabrication, structural steel work, pipe fitting, and welding cleanup applications. Its Type 27 depressed center profile allows flat and flush grinding without the wheel hub obstructing contact with the workpiece surface. Typical users include pipefitters, ironworkers, welders, and general maintenance tradespeople who need reliable stock removal on a 7 inch angle grinder. It performs on grinding welds flush, removing mill scale, and prepping surfaces before welding or coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType 27 depressed center profile allows flush surface contact during grinding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e36 grit aluminum oxide abrasive for very coarse, aggressive material removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7 inches diameter by 1\/4 inch thickness for use on standard 7 inch angle grinders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7\/8 inch arbor hole with arbor connector type for direct spindle mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHard wheel hardness rating extends service life under heavy load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA36MTX specification grade bonded abrasive construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with angle grinders accepting a 7 inch Type 27 depressed center wheel with a 7\/8 inch arbor mount.

Always power down and unplug or lock out the angle grinder before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use and never mount a damaged wheel. Ensure the grinder guard is properly positioned and that the grinder spindle speed does not exceed the wheel rated speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type 27 Depressed Center\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 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\u003eHole Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasive Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Very Coarse\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Hardness Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnector Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Arbor\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: Angle Grinder\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e: A36MTX\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: 40045\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CRATEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67918541521202,"sku":"40045","price":46.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6416d5035eab4a55e63fb5f44617aa89_f07f1a60-52d8-4727-b588-182fdc0b901f.jpg?v=1791270911","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cratex-40045-type-27-grinding-wheel-7in-36-grit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
