Pink Aluminum Oxide Grinding Wheel, 120-Grit, 6" x 3/4"

Aluminum Oxide Grinding Wheels are a giant step above the conventional gray, hard, slow cutting wheels which tend to burn tools as the grinding surface becomes dull and glazed. Made of granulated aluminum oxide with a vitrified white bond, they allow the grains of abrasive to wear off, thus providing a consistently fresh grinding surface. Sharpening is faster, with less danger of taking the temper out of the tool. Pink aluminum oxide grinding wheels provide all the benefits of white aluminum oxide wheels with the added bonus of being more resistant to grooving when reshaping or heavy sharpening is required. Although they do resist grooving, they still allow grains of abrasive to wear off rather than becoming dull and glazed. Since they do not build up glaze and metal particles, heat buildup is reduced, thereby preventing "blued" tools. This pink oxide grinding wheel is the perfect companion to complement your white sharpening wheel. 6"-diameter wheels come with bushings to reduce the arbor hole to fit 3/4", 5/8", and 1/2" shafts. Also available in 8".
