Gator 6001GA 8 Inch Bench Grinding Wheel Adjustable Arbor

Product Description

The GATOR 6001GA is a vitrified aluminum oxide bench grinding wheel designed for use on benchtop and pedestal grinders. The wheel measures 8 inches in diameter with a 1 inch arbor bore and includes an adjustable telescopic reducer bushing that accommodates 1 inch, 3/4 inch, and 5/8 inch arbor sizes. The aluminum oxide abrasive is engineered for fast, aggressive cutting on tool steel and other hard metals. Licensed trades and skilled DIYers use this wheel to sharpen and recondition metal cutting tools at the bench.

This grinding wheel is suited for workshop bench grinders and pedestal grinders in light industrial, maintenance, and trade shop environments. Its primary application is sharpening metal cutting tools such as chisels, drill bits, and lathe tools. The included adjustable bushing eliminates the need to stock multiple adapter rings, making it compatible with a range of common grinder arbor sizes found in both professional and workshop settings.
