Wheels in the Standard Abrasives Silicon Carbide Unitized Wheel 500 Series have a soft, conformable density, making them a good match for light-pressure blending, finishing and polishing on flat or contoured parts. When strict tolerances are required, these non-woven wheels offer operators the finesse needed to deliver precise results.
- Soft density silicon carbide wheel blends surfaces to a fine finish
- Soft density offers exceptional conformability which is especially important for applications with close tolerances
- Cuts faster than Standard Abrasives™ Buff and Blend non-woven products, though with less flexibility
- Silicon Carbide mineral is suitable for ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including exotic metals and titanium, as well as composites
- Runs clockwise and counterclockwise, allowing greater flexibility and versatility when paired with tools and machines
- Open web is load resistant, contributing to longer abrasive service life

PRODUCT FAQ
-
What materials can the Standard Abrasives™ S/C Unitized Wheel 853275 work on?
The Standard Abrasives™ S/C Unitized Wheel 853275 works well on a variety of metals, including stainless steel.
-
Can I use this product to remove rust or paint from metal surfaces?
While it's possible to use the Standard Abrasives™ S/C Unitized Wheel 853275 for light surface cleaning, it's more effective for general-purpose deburring and blending than heavy-duty stripping applications.
-
How long does one wheel usually last before needing replacement?
This unitized wheel is made with durable ceramic abrasive grains that hold up well even under high heat and pressure. Although job-specific factors will impact wear rates, each individual wheel typically lasts several hours before needing to be replaced.
-
Is there a size range available beyond the standard 6 in x 1/2 in x 1 in measurement specified?
Yes! We offer our Standard Abrasive™ SC Unitize Wheels series at various sizes ranging from as small as .5 inch diameter up to large diameters of twenty inches at both thicknesses of half inch (1/2in)and quarter-inch (1/4in).
Standard Abrasives™ Unitized Wheels offer a range of densities and grades to suit different metals, the degree of aggressiveness required, shape of the part, and desired finish. Among these, the 500 Series provides the softest density, and is available in medium (MED) and fine (FIN) grade silicon carbide (S/C). The combination of soft density and sharp-cutting S/C mineral makes these wheels a good match for applications where a fine finish is more important than cut, such as polishing fillet areas on jet blades and soft metals prior to the coating process. Due to their conformability, these wheels are great for projects with strict tolerances, because they respond to surface irregularities. After prolonged use, the wheel may be dressed to maintain its shape.
The 500 Series S/C Wheels come in two options. Type 532 is an excellent choice for finishing applications. The Type 524 wheel is designed to suit light-weight blending applications with its higher density construction and MED grade S/C grain throughout the web material, resulting in a slightly more aggressive product.
Compatible with a Variety of ToolsUnitized wheels are typically used on a right angle grinder. A benefit of unitized wheels is that they are bi-directional and can be mounted on a tool or pedestal grinder without regard to the direction of the spindle rotation. This means the Standard Abrasives™ Unitized Wheel can be used with a variety of tools, and regardless of which way the workpiece is fed through the machine, the wheel will be able to respond, giving operators more flexibility. The stiffness of the unitized construction enables operators to use thinner wheels to access awkward angles with grinding tools.
Series 500 wheels comes 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 (sold separately).
Non-Woven Unitized Construction Offers a Step Up in Density and Durability for Stubborn SurfacesStandard Abrasives™ Unitized Wheels are a great match for tough deburring, cleaning, blending and finishing applications. Although used for some of the same tasks as Standard Abrasives(TM) Buff and Blend products, they are designed with a far stronger and denser construction to support more aggressive applications and accomplish material removal more rapidly. Even though unitized wheels are much stiffer products, the non-woven nylon fibers of the wheel maintain the advantage of responding to surface irregularities while preserving the geometry of the piece, and produce a consistent finish.
Unitized wheels are created by starting with layers of 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. By fusing layers of open web, the abrasive gains more toughness and durability, so it can withstand repeated wear. Ultimately, the wheel's durability is what makes it such a good match for edges. Regardless of the diameter or thickness of the wheel, it maintains its structural integrity to remain a stiff and long-lasting abrasive. Additionally, as the layers wear, the wheel can be dressed to maintain its shape.
Load-Resistant Construction Boosts Life and PerformanceStandard Abrasives™ Unitized Wheels are load-resistant to keep you cutting with fresh mineral. The gaps in the open web allow unwanted swarf to escape. Consequently, less debris clogs the abrasive, so the mineral can stay fresh, keep cutting sharp and deliver a consistent cut over the life of the product. As the fibers break down and fresh mineral is exposed, it reduces the likelihood of dull or blunt mineral smearing the surface, contributing to cleaner surfaces and less re-work. Furthermore, manual fatigue that may result from applying heavy pressure to a dull abrasive is reduced.
The Many Benefits of Standard Abrasives™ Non-Woven ProductsStandard Abrasives™ Unitized Wheels invigorate deburring, cleaning, blending and finishing applications by helping operators reduce finishing steps, minimize costs and achieve greater throughput. For all the aforementioned reasons, Standard Abrasives™ Unitized Wheels offer many benefits for heavy-duty jobs.
