Metabo 623499000 Surface Grinding Wheel 180 Grit Type 1

Product Description

The METABO 623499000 is a Type 1 surface grinding wheel engineered for precision finishing on metal surfaces. Built with a zirconia alumina abrasive and rubber bond construction, it delivers controlled material removal at a fine 180 grit rating. The wheel measures 4 inches in diameter and 4 inches in thickness, with a 5/8 inch hole size and a 5/8-11 thread hole size, rated to 2700 RPM. It is non-porous and designed without a recess. Weighing 1.86 pounds, this wheel is suited for bench grinder or pedestal grinder setups used by machinists, fabricators, and metal finishing tradespeople working with ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This wheel is intended for applications including bright shining, decorative longitudinal grinding, and removing small scratches from workpiece surfaces. Compatible material applications include ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, and stainless steel. The fine 180 grit rating makes it appropriate for finishing passes rather than aggressive stock removal, fitting naturally into workflows where surface quality and appearance are the final objective. It ships as a single unit per package.

Key Features

• Rated to 2700 RPM maximum operating speed
• Non-porous, no-recess construction for straightforward mounting

Compatibility

Suitable for use on ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, and stainless steel workpieces. Designed for bright shining, decorative longitudinal grinding, and removing small scratches. Fits grinder spindles with a 5/8-11 threaded arbor.

Installation Notes

Installation and wheel changes should be performed by a qualified machinist or grinding equipment operator with power fully disconnected and the machine locked out before mounting. Always verify the grinder spindle speed does not exceed the 2700 RPM maximum rated speed of the wheel before operation. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and never use a wheel that shows visible defects. Follow ANSI B7.1 safety requirements for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels.
