Product Description

The Forney Industries 72398 is a bench grinding wheel designed for use with standard bench grinders in trade and industrial shop environments. Measuring 8 inches in diameter with a 1-inch face width and a 1-inch arbor bore, this wheel fits common 8-inch bench grinder spindles. It is suited for grinding, deburring, and sharpening ferrous metal workpieces. Machinists, fabricators, maintenance techs, and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users. This package contains 5 wheels, making it practical for shops that run bench grinders continuously and need to keep replacement wheels on hand.
