Weiler 56131 Surface Grinding Wheel 36 Grit 2in Type 1

Product Description

The WEILER 56131 is a Type 1 straight surface grinding wheel designed for use with right-angle and straight grinders in metal fabrication, weld grinding, and surface preparation work. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive and a resinoid bond, it delivers consistent stock removal on ferrous metals at a medium grade. The wheel measures 2 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick, with a 3/8 inch arbor hole. Rated to 30,000 RPM, it suits high-speed die grinders and small angle grinders. At 36 grit with an R hardness code, it is suited for aggressive material removal rather than fine finishing. Installers and fabricators in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades use wheels like this for deburring, weld cleanup, and fitting prep.

This grinding wheel is applicable in light industrial and trade service environments where a compact, small-diameter wheel is required. It fits standard die grinders and rotary tools with a 3/8 inch arbor. Common use cases include grinding down weld beads, cleaning pipe ends before coupling, removing burrs from cut conduit or sheet metal, and surface dressing in tight clearances where larger wheels cannot reach.

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement-style Type 1 straight grinding wheel for die grinders and small rotary grinders with a 3/8 inch arbor, operating at up to 30,000 RPM.

Installation Notes

Installation and wheel changes must be performed by qualified personnel following ANSI B7.1 safety standards for abrasive wheels. Always power down and disconnect the grinder from its power source before mounting or removing a wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before installation and never exceed the maximum RPM rating marked on the wheel. Use the correct arbor size and mounting flanges to ensure secure fitment before operation.
