Grinding Wheel Andre 150 mm x 63 mm x 32 mm, white, Type 6, MPN 520432

Andre grinding wheel, 150 mm diameter, 63 mm bore length and 32 mm thickness — a white Type 6 wheel designed for use on compatible bench and pedestal grinders. It is intended for general-purpose grinding, sharpening and light stock removal on metal and tool edges where a white abrasive is preferred. The wheel’s dimensions and construction suit standard single- and double-supported wheel setups on workshop grinders.

Advantages

The white abrasive formulation provides a balance between cutting speed and surface finish, reducing heat transfer and allowing controlled material removal. Its Type 6 form ensures stable mounting and concentric rotation on grinders that accept this wheel profile. The wheel is manufactured to consistent dimensions to simplify setup and replacement, offering predictable run-out and reduced vibration when properly mounted.

Suitable for

• General-purpose bench grinding of steel and ferrous tool edges
• Sharpening chisels, plane irons and cutting tools
• Light stock removal and surface blending on small workpieces
• Workshop use on compatible pedestal or bench grinders

How to use

Inspect the wheel for visible damage before mounting and ensure the grinder is switched off and unplugged. Mount the wheel on the spindle following the grinder manufacturer’s instructions, using appropriate flanges and securing nuts; confirm the wheel fits concentrically and that the grinder’s guards are correctly positioned. Balance and dress the wheel as required before performing work. When grinding, apply moderate, even pressure and keep the workpiece moving to avoid localized overheating. Allow the wheel to cool between heavy passes and use appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye and face protection and hearing protection.

Usage recommendations

Use the Andre 150 x 63 x 32 mm white Type 6 grinding wheel for routine sharpening and light stock removal on steels and tool edges. Match wheel RPM limits to the grinder’s rated speed, regularly dress the wheel to maintain profile and cutting performance, and replace the wheel if cracks or significant damage are detected.
