Merit Abrasives 05539512528 Deburring Wheel 6 in Silicon Carbide

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 05539512528 is a convolute deburring wheel designed for edge finishing, light deburring, and surface blending on metal workpieces. Built with silicon carbide abrasive at a fine grade and density 9, this wheel delivers consistent, controlled material removal without aggressive stock reduction. The convolute construction bonds abrasive uniformly throughout the wheel body, maintaining cutting performance as the wheel wears down. Rated to 6,000 RPM, it is sized at 6 inches in diameter with a 1-inch center hole and a 1/2-inch face width. Fabricators, machinists, and metalworking tradespeople use this wheel for finishing operations where edge quality and surface uniformity matter.

This deburring wheel is suited for bench grinder and pedestal grinder setups commonly found in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments. It is used on ferrous and non-ferrous metals where silicon carbide abrasive is appropriate, including aluminum, brass, and cast iron. The fine grade and hard density grade combination makes it effective for light deburring passes and consistent surface conditioning rather than heavy stock removal. Typical applications include part finishing after machining, weld cleanup on light-gauge material, and general edge conditioning before assembly or inspection.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive material suited for non-ferrous metals and ferrous applications requiring fine finish work
• Convolute wheel construction maintains consistent abrasive exposure throughout the wheel life
• Fine grade, density 9, hard density grade for controlled deburring without aggressive cutting
• 6,000 RPM maximum speed rating for use on standard bench and pedestal grinders
• 1-inch center hole fits common bench grinder arbor configurations
• Compact 1/2-inch face width for precise edge work and controlled contact zones

Compatibility

Designed for use with bench grinders and pedestal grinders. Verify arbor size and RPM rating of the grinder before installation to confirm fitment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified metalworking tradesperson or machine operator following all applicable shop safety procedures. Power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing any abrasive wheel. Confirm the grinder spindle speed does not exceed the 6,000 RPM maximum rating of this wheel before operation. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and never operate a damaged abrasive wheel.
