Specification

Description

Type 1 resin bonded aluminum oxide reinforced snagging wheels are engineered for the toughest foundry and primary metal grinding operations. Designed with high-strength fiberglass reinforcement, these wheels provide additional safety under the extreme stresses of swing frame grinding while delivering efficient, fast-cutting performance. The durable aluminum oxide grain offers aggressive stock removal on ferrous metals, while the resin bond ensures reliable wheel life under heavy loads. Ideal for cleaning, deburring, and shaping large castings, these reinforced wheels combine productivity and operator confidence in demanding industrial settings.

Features

  • Fiberglass Reinforcement—Adds structural integrity to the wheel, reducing the risk of breakage and improving operator safety in heavy-duty snagging.
  • Aluminum Oxide Grain—Provides a balance of toughness and sharpness for efficient grinding of steels and cast irons.
  • Resin Bond System—Delivers durability and controlled breakdown, ensuring high stock removal rates without excessive wheel wear.
  • Reliable Stock Removal Capability—Designed to remove gates, risers, and surface imperfections.
  • Stable Grinding Performance—Consistent wheel structure reduces vibration and provides smoother operation under load.

Application

Application

  • 1

    Snagging gates, risers, and parting lines from large ferrous castings.

  • 2

    Surface conditioning of steel ingots and billets in primary metal operations.

  • 3

    Cleaning and shaping of heavy cast iron components before machining or finishing.

Recommendations

  • Operate only on properly guarded swing frame or floor stand machines designed for reinforced wheels.
  • Always check wheel integrity before mounting; do not use wheels with cracks or damage.
  • Mount with appropriate flanges and blotters to distribute pressure evenly.
  • Ensure workpieces are securely clamped to prevent vibration and uncontrolled movement.
  • Never exceed the wheel’s maximum operating speed (RPM) as marked on the wheel and avoid side grinding.
