Grinding Wheel Andre 125 mm x 50 mm x 32 mm 99A60K7VE01-35 White (Type 6)

Andre grinding wheel 125 mm x 50 mm x 32 mm, white abrasive, Type 6 (model 99A60K7VE01-35) is a bench/pedestal wheel intended for general-purpose material removal, surface preparation and finishing of ferrous metals. Constructed with 99A abrasive and a K7 hardness grade, this wheel balances cutting speed and life for routine workshop and maintenance grinding tasks. Its Type 6 cup shape and the listed dimensions allow mounting on common bench grinders for tasks that require both stock removal and controlled surface finishing.

Advantages

The André white 99A abrasive with K7 bond provides consistent cutting performance and predictable dressing behavior, reducing vibration and chatter when used with appropriate flanges and guards. The Type 6 cup form enables work on flat and contoured surfaces with improved access compared with straight wheels. Dimensioning at 125×50×32 mm fits many standard bench and pedestal grinder spindles and gives a balance between contact area and accessibility for medium-depth grinding jobs.

Suitable for

• Removing rust, scale and weld spatter from steel surfaces
• General-purpose stock removal and edge shaping on ferrous metals
• Prepping surfaces for welding, painting or coating
• Light deburring and finishing tasks on workshop benches

When it may not be suitable

This wheel is formulated for general steel and ferrous metal applications; it may wear faster or cut less efficiently on non-ferrous metals such as aluminum or copper compared with abrasives specifically designed for those materials. For high-precision surface grinding, hard finishing or very fine polishing, finer-grit abrasives or specialized finishing wheels would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Wheel type: Cup wheel (Type 6)
• Diameter: 125 mm
• Width: 50 mm
• Arbor hole diameter: 32 mm
• Abrasive composition: White 99A abrasive
• Hardness grade: K7
• Typical applications: Bench/pedestal grinder use for metal removal and surface prep

How to use

Mount the wheel on a compatible bench or pedestal grinder using correct flanges and a matching 32 mm arbor adapter if required. Ensure the grinder is switched off and unplugged during installation. Check the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and dress the wheel as needed to restore cutting surfaces. Operate the grinder at the manufacturer-recommended RPM not exceeding the wheel's safe speed rating, apply light to moderate pressure, and maintain steady, consistent passes to avoid overheating the workpiece or causing glazing of the abrasive.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm your grinder supports a 125 mm diameter wheel and a 32 mm arbor or appropriate adapter
• Match abrasive type to the material you will grind (white 99A is aimed at ferrous metals)
• Check the wheel's safe operating speed and compare it with your grinder's maximum RPM
• Ensure appropriate personal protective equipment (eye protection, face shield, gloves) and guards are available

Usage recommendations

Use light, controlled pressure and consistent dressing for best life and performance. For aluminum and non-ferrous metals select a non-loading wheel or specialty abrasive to avoid clogging. Regularly inspect and balance the wheel assembly to reduce vibration and maintain safety.
