Cratex 70118 Surface Grinding Wheel 6in 46 Grit Coarse

Product Description

The CRATEX 70118 is a surface grinding wheel designed for material removal and surface finishing in industrial and trade applications. This wheel measures 6 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick, with a 1/2 inch arbor hole for secure spindle mounting. The 46 grit coarse grade makes it well suited for aggressive stock removal on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Its hard wheel hardness rating helps the abrasive hold its form during high-contact grinding passes. Fabricators, tool and die shops, and maintenance machinists reach for this wheel when they need consistent cutting action on flat or near-flat workpiece surfaces.

This wheel is used in surface grinding applications on bench grinders and compatible surface grinding machines that accept a 6 inch wheel with a 1/2 inch arbor bore. Typical use cases include deburring, weld prep, surface cleanup, and general material removal in job shop, maintenance, and production environments. The coarse grit makes it most effective where finish quality is secondary to removal rate.

Installation Notes

Surface grinding wheels should be installed and dressed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Always power down and de-energize the grinder before mounting or removing wheels. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before installation and perform a ring test per ANSI B7.1 guidelines. Never exceed the maximum RPM rating of the wheel or the machine spindle speed.
