Flaring Cup Grinding Wheels are cup shaped grinding wheels sometimes called Flared Cup Wheels or simply Cup Wheels. Norton Abrasives' BlueFire Zirconia Alumina Portable Foundry Wheels are a smart choice for maximum wheel life, metal removal rates and productivity. The more friable zirconia alumina grain and the durable resin bond technologies offer many benefits including enabling the grain to stay sharper longer, have a longer wheel life and prevents gouging of the work piece.
  These are Type 11 Flaring Cup Grinding Wheels for when you require performance abrasives.

GRINDING WHEELS for STAINLESS STEEL - TYPE 27-WA24S for ANGLE GRINDERS


Grinding Wheel for Stainless Steel Type 27 for Angle Grinders
Grinding Wheel for Stainless Steel
Grinding Wheels are sometimes referred to as depressed center wheels or raised hub wheels or by their shape designation of “Type”, with Type 27 being the most popular. The depressed center design allows the flange/lock nut to recess within the grinding wheel so that it can be used for various grinding and cutting applications. Depressed center wheels are designed to handle the most severe right angle grinding applications from heavy stock removal to rough blending. More recently, depressed center wheels have been designed to increase the utility of the right angle grinder for cut-off applications. While large right angle grinders (7" & 9") have been around for many years, small or mini grinders that handle 4", 4-1/2" and 5" wheels have made this machine, and wheel category, one of the most popular in power tools. The 4-1/2 x ¼ x 7/8 Type 27 Grinding Wheel is our most popular wheel. Click for information on the 40305 Grinding Wheel.
