61790 - 6-Inch Green Silicon Carbide Bench Grinder Wheel 120 Grit

Sharpen Carbide and Grind Aluminum with Confidence

Every welder and fabricator knows that standard grinding wheels just don't cut it when it comes to tungsten, carbide tools, or soft metals like aluminum. That's where the Pferd 61790 "Green Wheel" comes in. This 6-inch Silicon Carbide bench wheel is specifically designed to handle the tasks that clog up or dull your standard aluminum oxide wheels. If you are looking to keep your carbide lathe tools razor-sharp or need to touch up a piece of copper or brass without the wheel loading up instantly, this is the abrasive you need on your bench grinder.

The 120-grit texture provides a fine, smooth finish, making it excellent for the final stage of sharpening. It removes material cleanly without gouging, allowing you to hone edges on drill bits and chisels with precision. The 1-inch face width gives you plenty of surface area to work with, ensuring you can stabilize your workpiece effectively against the tool rest. Because it uses a vitrified bond, the wheel maintains its shape well over time, though it can be easily dressed to true up the face whenever necessary.

Installation is straightforward thanks to the inclusion of telescoping bushings, allowing this wheel to fit almost any 6-inch bench grinder found in home shops or industrial welding bays. Safety is paramount; always ensure your grinder's speed does not exceed the maximum RPM rating of the wheel and keep your tool rests adjusted close to the wheel face. Upgrade your grinding station with the Pferd 61790 and experience the difference a dedicated silicon carbide wheel makes for specialty metals and tool maintenance.
