It measures 3 inches in diameter and 1\/4 inch thick, with a 1\/4 inch arbor hole. The abrasive matrix is aluminum oxide at 80 grit, rated medium hardness, and the wheel is approved for a maximum operating speed of 12,095 RPM. This wheel is suited for use on bench grinders, tool and cutter grinders, and surface grinders in machine shops, fabrication shops, and maintenance environments. It is typically installed and operated by machinists, tool and die makers, and skilled maintenance technicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis grinding wheel fits applications requiring controlled stock removal and moderate surface finishing. The 80 grit aluminum oxide composition performs well on steel, cast iron, and general-purpose metals. At 3 inches in diameter with no recess, the flat face profile suits straight surface grinding passes and off-hand tool sharpening. The compact size makes it appropriate for benchtop and portable grinder setups where a smaller wheel diameter is specified by the equipment manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType 1 flat wheel geometry with no recess for straightforward surface grinding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAluminum oxide abrasive at 80 grit delivers medium stock removal with moderate surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMedium hardness rating balances wheel life against cutting efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 12,095 RPM maximum operating speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch arbor hole fits standard small-diameter grinder spindles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.07 pounds for easy wheel changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard consumable for bench grinders and surface grinders that accept a Type 1 wheel with a 3 inch diameter, 1\/4 inch thickness, and 1\/4 inch arbor hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrinding wheels must be installed and dressed by a qualified operator following ANSI B7.1 safety standards. Always power down and lock out the grinder before changing wheels. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before mounting, and never exceed the rated maximum RPM of 12,095. Use the correct arbor flanges and blotters as specified by the grinder manufacturer, and run the wheel at operating speed in a guarded position for at least one minute before grinding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type 1 (Straight)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArbor Hole Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\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: 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum RPM\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12,095\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecess Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: No Recess\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.07 pounds\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: 40152\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CRATEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67906034663730,"sku":"40152","price":26.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f0861fa394cb6e2825a2be68cc74040e.jpg?v=1791163441","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cratex-40152-surface-grinding-wheel-3in-80-grit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
