Private Label - Aluminum Oxide Unitized Wheel - 700 Series, WHL 3X1/4X1/4 F A/O MD 731 UTZ PRIV LABEL 54492

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 using unitized wheels is their compatibility with a variety of tools. The Standard Abrasives Unitized Wheel can be used on a die grinder and can also be mounted on a tool or pedestal grinder without regard to the direction of the spindle rotation. This flexibility allows operators to use the wheel with different tools and feed the workpiece through the machine in any direction. The unitized construction of the wheel provides the necessary stiffness to use thinner wheels for accessing awkward angles with grinding tools.

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

Standard Abrasives Unitized Wheels are specifically designed for tough deburring, cleaning, blending, and finishing applications. These wheels 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, resulting in a consistent finish.

The construction of unitized wheels involves layers of open web material that combine non-woven fiber strands and abrasive mineral with a tough resin bond. These layers are then cured and compressed together, creating a wheel with increased toughness and durability. This construction ensures that the wheel remains structurally intact, even under high pressure, making it highly effective for edge applications. As the layers wear, the wheel can be dressed to maintain its shape.

Standard Abrasives Unitized Wheels are designed to be load-resistant, allowing for continuous cutting with fresh mineral. The gaps in the open web structure of the wheel allow unwanted swarf to escape, preventing debris from clogging the abrasive. This ensures that the mineral stays fresh, sharp, and delivers a consistent cut throughout the life of the product. As the fibers break down and expose fresh mineral, 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 caused by applying heavy pressure to a dull abrasive.

Standard Abrasives Unitized Wheels offer numerous benefits for heavy-duty jobs. These wheels streamline deburring, cleaning, blending, and finishing applications by reducing the number of finishing steps required, minimizing costs, and increasing throughput. With their medium to hard density, durability, and fine cutting action, Standard Abrasives Unitized Wheels are the perfect choice for achieving aggressive burr removal and a fine finish.
