Measuring 6 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick with a 1\/2 inch arbor hole, it uses a rubber bond matrix that cushions the abrasive grain during contact, allowing it to conform slightly to the workpiece surface. The coarse grade abrasive cuts aggressively, making this wheel suited for stock removal and surface cleanup tasks. Rated to 3600 RPM, it is compatible with standard bench grinders and surface grinding equipment sized for a 6 inch wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wheel is applied across metalworking and light fabrication environments where surface condition matters. Common operations include removing rust, heat marks, and tarnish from metal surfaces, eliminating excess solder from assemblies, smoothing rough edges, deburring cut parts, and preparing surfaces prior to coating or polishing. The rubber bond construction makes it particularly effective on corrosion-affected surfaces and on tasks that require a degree of surface conformance rather than a rigid abrasive action. It is used by machinists, pipefitters, HVAC fabricators, and general trade technicians who perform in-shop or bench metalwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSilicon carbide abrasive grain for effective cutting on metals and corrosion-affected surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRubber bond matrix cushions grain contact and conforms to workpiece geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCoarse grade for aggressive material removal, deburring, and surface cleanup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3600 RPM maximum speed rating for use on standard bench grinders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo recess design for straightforward mounting on compatible arbors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGreen wheel color for quick visual identification in multi-wheel shop environments\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 removal, polishing operations, rust removal, scratch removal, smoothing, and tarnish removal applications on bench or surface grinding equipment accepting a 6 inch diameter, 1\/2 inch arbor wheel rated to 3600 RPM.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified technician following the grinder manufacturer's mounting instructions and applicable ANSI B7.1 safe use guidelines for abrasive wheels. Always de-energize and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing a wheel. Verify the machine's maximum operating RPM does not exceed the wheel's 3600 RPM rating before use. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use and stand clear during the initial run-up period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\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: Coarse\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum RPM\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3600 RPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: Green\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: 1 pound\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: 616 C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CRATEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67911565148466,"sku":"616 C","price":177.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/dda39f4f4a7ea75d53fac93ac55d500e_0f64aeaa-adce-44ef-9d27-5d650008c220.jpg?v=1791212286","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cratex-616-c-surface-grinding-wheel-6in-silicon-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
