Value Collection FA7536 Type 27 Grinding Wheel 7in 36 Grit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION FA7536 is a Type 27 depressed center grinding wheel designed for aggressive material removal on metal surfaces. Built with an aluminum oxide abrasive grain bonded in a resinoid bond matrix, this wheel delivers consistent stock removal across ferrous metals and general fabrication applications. At 7 inches in diameter and 1/8 inch thick, it runs at a maximum rated speed of 8,500 RPM. The 36-grit rating places it in the very coarse grade range, making it well suited for weld grinding, surface blending, and deburring tasks where rapid material removal takes priority over finish quality. A 5/8-11 threaded hub provides a direct, secure connection to standard angle grinders.

This wheel is a common choice for field and shop use in metal fabrication, structural steel work, pipefitting, and general maintenance grinding. The Type 27 depressed center profile keeps the grinding face at a low angle to the workpiece, which allows flat or near-flat grinding without obstruction from the backing hub. It is sold individually and is a practical consumable stock item for any shop running 7-inch angle grinders.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Grinding wheels must be installed and operated by personnel familiar with angle grinder safety per ANSI B7.1 standards. Always verify the grinder spindle speed does not exceed the 8,500 RPM maximum rating marked on the wheel before mounting. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use and never operate a damaged wheel. Wear appropriate PPE including a face shield, gloves, and hearing protection during operation.
