OVERVIEW

Maximize Shop Productivity with United Abrasives

In high-volume fabrication environments, downtime is the enemy of profitability. The United Abrasives / SAIT 20062 A46N Grinding Wheel is built to keep your production lines moving by eliminating one of the most frustrating issues in metalworking: wheel loading. When grinding aluminum and other soft metals, standard wheels quickly become coated with waste material, rendering them useless and forcing operators to stop and change wheels frequently. The SAIT 20062 is the American-made solution to this inefficiency.

Manufactured in the USA, this Type 27 depressed center wheel utilizes a proprietary mixture of aluminum oxide grain and a specialized soft bond. This combination is critical for non-ferrous applications. The soft bond allows the wheel to "self-sharpen" by releasing worn grain before it can glaze over, while simultaneously preventing the buildup of soft metal on the wheel face. This ensures that the operator experiences a consistent, aggressive bite from the first spark to the stub, significantly reducing operator fatigue and machine wear.

With a 1/4 inch thickness, this wheel is robust enough for heavy stock removal and weld grinding. It is designed to outlast the competition by as much as 40%, providing exceptional value and reducing inventory turnover. The 4-1/2 inch diameter and 7/8 inch arbor make it a universal fit for most industrial angle grinders. By choosing the SAIT A46N, you are investing in a tool that respects the specific metallurgical properties of aluminum, ensuring high-quality finishes and structural integrity in your workpieces.

Why Choose the SAIT A46N?

  • Made in the USA: Superior quality control and consistent performance you can trust.
  • Cost Effective: Longer life means fewer wheel changes and lower consumable costs.
  • Optimized for Soft Metals: Specifically formulated for aluminum, bronze, and copper.
  • High Safety Standards: Reinforced with premium fiberglass for heavy-duty use.

FAQ

The A46N features a special soft bond and aluminum oxide formulation specifically designed to prevent 'loading' or clogging when grinding soft metals like aluminum.

While it can physically cut steel, it is not recommended. The soft bond is optimized for soft metals; using it on hard steel will cause the wheel to wear down very quickly.

The maximum safe operating speed is 13,300 RPM.

Yes, this is a Type 27 depressed center grinding wheel, designed for grinding at a 15 to 30-degree angle.

No, this wheel has a 7/8" arbor hole and requires the standard flange nut and backing flange provided with your angle grinder.

These wheels are typically packaged by the manufacturer in boxes of 25.
