Cratex 40195 Surface Grinding Wheel 80 Grit Type 1

Product Description

The CRATEX 40195 is a Type 1 surface grinding wheel designed for precision material removal and surface finishing on metal workpieces. It measures 2 inches in diameter and 1/16 inch thick, with a 1/4 inch arbor hole. The abrasive bond is aluminum oxide rated at 80 grit, a medium grade well suited for general-purpose stock removal and light deburring. Maximum operating speed is 18,145 RPM. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and metalworkers use this wheel on bench grinders, die grinders, and rotary tools where a small-diameter straight wheel is required.

This wheel fits applications requiring controlled, low-profile grinding in tight areas or on small parts. The compact 2-inch diameter makes it practical for bench grinder arbor setups and precision hand-held rotary tools. It is appropriate for light-to-medium duty finishing on ferrous and non-ferrous metals in both shop and field service environments. The medium hardness rating helps the wheel maintain its form during extended passes without loading prematurely.

Key Features

• Type 1 straight wheel profile with no recess for direct arbor mounting
• 80 grit aluminum oxide abrasive provides medium-grade cutting action for general stock removal and deburring
• Medium hardness rating balances wheel life and material removal rate
• Rated to 18,145 RPM for compatibility with standard bench and rotary grinders
• 1/4 inch arbor hole fits common small-diameter grinder spindles
• Compact 1/16 inch thickness allows precise narrow grinding passes

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-mount replacement or supplemental wheel for bench grinders, die grinders, and rotary tools accepting a 1/4 inch arbor and accommodating a 2 inch diameter Type 1 straight wheel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or technician following ANSI B7.1 safety requirements for abrasive wheel mounting. Always power down and de-energize the grinder completely before changing wheels, and inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before mounting. Never exceed the rated maximum speed of 18,145 RPM, and confirm the grinder spindle speed does not surpass that rating before operation. Use the correct arbor flanges and ensure the wheel is properly seated and tightened before restarting the tool.
