Unitized Right Angle Grinder Wheels are available in 4 ½ in to 5 in sizes, in both silicon carbide and aluminum oxide versions. The Type 27 wheels feature a unitized material on a firm, phenolic backing and are offered in a variety of finishes. Its finest silicon carbide finish (2/S/Fine) is ideal for heat sensitive materials; its fine silicon carbide finish (3/S/Fine) is ideal for all metal materials; and its medium aluminum oxide finishes (2/A/Medium and 6/A/Medium) are ideal for deburring, finishing and polishing on all metals. To work in hard-to-reach areas, Weldcote offers its unitized quick-change, roll-on wheels in 2- and 3-inch sizes, also in fine and medium finishes.
Stripit Wheels are available in 4 ½ in, 5 in, and 7 in sizes, in Type 27, both in black and red silicon carbide. A quick-change, roll-on disc is available, also in both black and red silicon carbide, in 2 in and 3 in sizes. Available 10 to a carton, Stripit wheels are excellent for use on stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, nonferrous metals and fiberglass. They can be used for cleaning welds and fast removal of rust, scaling, oxidation, paints and sealants.
Surface Preparation Wheels are available 10 to a carton in 4 in, 4 ½ in, and 7 in sizes, in Type 27 with a compact backing that minimizes workpiece scratches. The surface preparation wheels are available in a fine, aluminum oxide, maroon-colored version that is ideal for cleaning, blending and finishing stainless steel, and a very fine, silicon carbide, gray-colored version that is ideal for light finishes on metal, wood composites and satin finishing on aluminum. Roll-on versions of each are available in 2- and 3-inch sizes.
