Cratex 70119 Surface Grinding Wheel 6in 46 Grit Coarse

Product Description

The CRATEX 70119 is a rubber-bonded surface grinding wheel designed for precision deburring, finishing, and light stock removal on metal workpieces. At 6 inches in diameter and 1/8 inches thick with a 1/2 inches arbor hole, this wheel mounts on standard bench grinders and surface grinding machines used across metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance operations. The 46 grit rating places it in the coarse grade range, suited for faster material removal where fine surface finish is not the primary goal. The hard wheel hardness rating helps maintain wheel shape under steady pressure during extended use.

This wheel is appropriate for bench grinder and surface grinder applications in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication environments. The coarse 46 grit is typically chosen when technicians need to remove burrs, scale, or surface irregularities from steel and other hard metals before moving to finer finishing steps. Its compact 1/8 inches thickness makes it a practical choice when working in tighter clearances or when a thinner wheel profile is required for the task at hand.

Key Features

• 6 inches diameter fits standard bench grinders and surface grinding machines
• 1/8 inches wheel thickness for use in applications requiring a slimmer profile
• 1/2 inches arbor hole for secure mounting on common spindle sizes
• 46 grit coarse grade supports faster material removal and deburring
• Hard hardness rating maintains wheel geometry under consistent grinding pressure

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use grinding wheel for bench grinders and surface grinders accepting a 6 inches diameter, 1/2 inches arbor hole wheel.

Installation Notes

Grinding wheel installation and dressing should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with abrasive wheel safety, including ANSI B7.1 standards. Always power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing a wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before installation and perform a ring test. Use the correct flanges and blotters for the arbor size and never exceed the maximum RPM rating marked on the wheel.
