Cratex 80370 Surface Grinding Wheel 46 Grit Coarse 3 in

Product Description

The CRATEX 80370 is a rubber-bonded surface grinding wheel designed for deburring, blending, and light material removal on metal and non-metal workpieces. It measures 3 inches in diameter, 1 inch thick, with a 1/4 inch arbor hole. The 46 grit coarse grade removes stock efficiently and leaves a uniform surface finish suitable for prep work before finer finishing steps. The hard hardness rating helps the wheel maintain its form during contact with the workpiece. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and fabricators typically install and use this wheel on bench grinders and spindle-mounted setups.

This wheel suits general-purpose surface grinding and deburring applications in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance environments. The 3 inch diameter and 1/4 inch bore make it compatible with small bench grinders and pedestal-mounted spindle tools. The coarse 46 grit is well suited for initial stock removal, edge cleanup, and weld bead blending on ferrous and non-ferrous parts where surface smoothness is secondary to fast material removal.

Key Features

• 3 inch diameter by 1 inch thick wheel profile for consistent contact surface
• 46 grit coarse grade for aggressive stock removal and deburring
• Hard hardness rating helps the wheel hold its shape under load
• 1/4 inch arbor hole fits standard small bench grinder and spindle arbors
• Rubber bond construction provides controlled cut and reduced workpiece heat buildup

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement grinding wheel for bench grinders and spindle-mounted tools accepting a 1/4 inch arbor and a 3 inch diameter wheel.

Installation Notes

Grinding wheel installation and dressing should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Always power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing a wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before installation and never exceed the maximum RPM rating marked on the wheel or the grinder. Follow ANSI B7.1 safety requirements for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels.
