Private Label - Aluminum Oxide Unitized Wheel - 700 Series, WHL 3X1/4X1/4 F A/O MD 731 UTZ PRIV LABEL 77855

The Standard Abrasives Aluminum Oxide (A/O) 700 Series Unitized Wheel is a versatile abrasive tool that offers a medium to hard density compared to other wheels in the Standard Abrasives Unitized Wheels line. This unique density provides a combination of durability and fine cutting action, making the A/O 700 Series Unitized Wheel ideal for a wide range of applications that require both aggressive burr removal and a fine finish.

When it comes to deburring gears and the trailing and leading edge on turbine blades, the A/O 700 Series Unitized Wheel is the go-to choice. It is also highly effective in removing punched hole burrs on stainless steel, 80 grit grind lines on nickel alloys, 120 grit grind lines on aluminum, heavy flashing, and medium-sized pits and scratches. Additionally, this wheel is useful for edge radiusing, especially on harder metals. In terms of cleaning, the Standard Abrasives 700 Series Unitized Wheel is a reliable option for removing heavy scale, light oxidation from aluminum, brazing on steel tubing, weld discoloration, and handling marks prior to coating or plating.

One of the advantages of the Standard Abrasives Unitized Wheel is its compatibility with a variety of tools. While unitized wheels are typically used on a die grinder, the bi-directional nature of these wheels allows them to be mounted on a tool or pedestal grinder without considering the direction of the spindle rotation. This versatility enables the Standard Abrasives Unitized Wheel to be used with different tools, and regardless of the workpiece's feeding direction, the wheel will be able to respond effectively, providing operators with more flexibility. Furthermore, the stiffness of the unitized construction allows operators to use thinner wheels to access awkward angles with grinding tools.

The Series 700 wheels are available in a range of diameters from 1-6 and require a unitized wheel mandrel (sold separately) for attachment to the tool. Quick change wheels are also available (sold separately).

Standard Abrasives Unitized Wheels are specifically designed for tough deburring, cleaning, blending, and finishing applications. These wheels come in various densities and grades to suit different metals, the required level of aggressiveness, the shape of the part, and the desired finish. While they share some tasks with Standard Abrasives Buff and Blend products, Unitized Wheels are constructed with a much stronger and denser composition to support more aggressive applications and achieve 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, resulting in 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 of web are then cured and compressed together, enhancing the abrasive's toughness and durability to withstand repeated wear.

What sets the Standard Abrasives Unitized Wheel apart is its exceptional durability, making it an excellent choice for edges. Regardless of the wheel's diameter or thickness, it maintains its structural integrity, remaining stiff and long-lasting even under high pressure. Additionally, as the layers wear, the wheel can be dressed to maintain its shape.

Standard Abrasives Unitized Wheels are designed to be load-resistant, ensuring a consistent and sharp cut throughout the product's lifespan. The gaps in the open web structure allow unwanted swarf to escape, preventing debris from clogging the abrasive. This design feature keeps the mineral fresh, allowing it to maintain its cutting sharpness and deliver a consistent cut over time. As the fibers break down and fresh mineral is exposed, the likelihood of dull or blunt mineral smearing the surface is reduced, resulting in cleaner surfaces and less re-work. Additionally, the load-resistant construction reduces manual fatigue that may occur when applying heavy pressure to a dull abrasive.

Standard Abrasives Unitized Wheels offer numerous benefits for heavy-duty jobs. With their ability to reduce finishing steps, minimize costs, and increase throughput, these wheels invigorate deburring, cleaning, blending, and finishing applications. Whether it's aggressive burr removal or achieving a fine finish, the Standard Abrasives Unitized Wheel is a reliable and efficient choice.
