Standard Abrasives™ 600 Series Unitized Wheel, 4 1/2 in x 1/2 in x 7/8 in

The Standard Abrasives Silicon Carbide (S/C) Unitized Wheel 600 Series is a versatile and durable abrasive wheel that is perfect for tough finishing and polishing applications. With its soft to medium density and fine scratch pattern, this wheel provides an aggressive cut while still delivering a soft finish.

When it comes to polishing, the Standard Abrasives S/C 600 Series Unitized Wheel is the go-to choice for various tasks. It is ideal for polishing fillet areas on jet blades and aircraft parts, as well as polishing after weld removal. Additionally, it is highly effective in polishing mold and die cast aluminum, brass, and copper. This wheel is also well-suited for finishing surgical instruments and prosthetics.

One of the key advantages of the Standard Abrasives Unitized Wheel is its conformability. It responds to surface irregularities, making it perfect for projects with strict tolerances. Even after prolonged use, the wheel can be dressed to maintain its shape.

The Standard Abrasives Unitized Wheel is designed to be used with die grinders. It is bi-directional, meaning it can be mounted on a tool or pedestal grinder without regard to the direction of the spindle rotation. This versatility allows the wheel to be used with a variety of tools, providing operators with more flexibility. The unitized construction of the wheel also enables operators to use thinner wheels to access awkward angles with grinding tools.

The Series 600 wheels are available in a range of diameters from 1-12 and require a unitized wheel mandrel (sold separately) for attachment to the tool. Quick change wheels are also available for added convenience.

The Standard Abrasives Unitized Wheels are specifically designed for tough deburring, cleaning, blending, and finishing applications. They offer a higher density and durability compared to Standard Abrasives Buff and Blend products, making them suitable for more aggressive tasks and rapid material removal. Despite their stiffness, the non-woven nylon fibers of the wheel allow it to respond to surface irregularities while maintaining the geometry of the piece and producing a consistent finish.

Unitized wheels are created by layering open web material that combines non-woven fiber strands and abrasive mineral with a tough resin bond. These layers are then cured and compressed together, resulting in a wheel that is tough and durable. This construction allows the wheel to withstand repeated wear and maintain its structural integrity, making it ideal for edges.

The Standard Abrasives Unitized Wheels are load-resistant, ensuring that the mineral stays fresh and sharp for a longer period of time. The open web design of the wheel allows unwanted swarf to escape, preventing debris from clogging the abrasive. This results in a consistent cut over the life of the product and reduces the likelihood of dull or blunt mineral smearing the surface. Additionally, the load-resistant construction reduces manual fatigue caused by applying heavy pressure to a dull abrasive.

Standard Abrasives Unitized Wheels offer numerous benefits for heavy-duty jobs. They streamline deburring, cleaning, blending, and finishing applications, reducing the number of finishing steps required and minimizing costs. With their durability and performance, these wheels help operators achieve greater throughput and deliver cleaner surfaces with less re-work.
