Cratex 80366 Surface Grinding Wheel 46 Grit 2 in Dia

Product Description

The CRATEX 80366 is a small-diameter surface grinding wheel designed for precision material removal on metal, steel, and similar hard surfaces. Measuring 2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick with a 1/4 inch arbor hole, this wheel runs at a coarse 46 grit rating with a hard hardness rating, making it well suited for aggressive stock removal and surface preparation. It is sized for use in bench grinders, die grinders, or rotary tool setups that accept a 1/4 inch arbor. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance tradespeople are the typical installers and operators of this wheel.

This grinding wheel is appropriate for light industrial and shop maintenance applications where a small, rigid wheel is needed to grind welds, deburr edges, or true up metal surfaces. Its compact 2 inch diameter allows access to tighter work areas than standard bench grinder wheels. The coarse 46 grit removes material quickly, making it a practical choice for rough grinding passes before finishing operations. It is sold individually and suited for low-volume, precision shop use.

Key Features

• Coarse 46 grit for aggressive stock removal and fast material cut rate
• Hard hardness rating maintains wheel integrity under sustained grinding pressure
• 2 inch diameter fits compact bench grinders and rotary tool setups
• 1/4 inch arbor hole for direct mounting on standard small-spindle equipment
• 1/2 inch wheel thickness provides stability and even contact across the grinding face

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-mount grinding wheel for tools and grinders accepting a 1/4 inch arbor, including compact bench grinders and die grinders used in general metal fabrication and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Grinding wheels must be installed and operated by personnel familiar with abrasive wheel safety practices per ANSI B7.1 standards. Always power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use and never operate a damaged wheel. Ensure the spindle speed rating of the grinder does not exceed the maximum RPM rating of the wheel.
