This product page focuses on the grinding wheel Grinding Wheel Andre 150 mm × 80 mm × 32 mm 99A46K7VE01-35 White (Type 6), which is compared against four similar abrasive wheels from the brand Andre: model 520432 featuring a similar Type 6 profile but different width, models 520057 (a smaller Type 11 flared cup wheel), 511307 and 511483 (flat Type 1 wheels with a 200 mm diameter), and model 510859 (a flat black wheel with a 150 mm diameter). All these products are designed for stock removal, surface finishing, and sharpening tasks on bench or pedestal grinders, sharing a standard 32 mm bore and a general application in metalworking. The main differences lie in their profile shape (Type 6, Type 11, or flat Type 1), overall dimensions (diameter and width/thickness), and the abrasive type and color (white aluminum oxide versus green or black alternatives), which directly impact their cutting behavior and machine compatibility.
⚙️ The specifications comparison table below contrasts key technical parameters and design features, including profile type, outer dimensions, bore size, abrasive color, and intended application, providing practical insights into their differences for real-world workshop use.

|---|
| Bore diameter | 32 mm | 32 mm | 32 mm | 32 mm | 32 mm | 32 mm | Identical mounting bore diameter ensures compatibility with standard bench and pedestal grinders designed for a 32 mm shaft. |
| Profile type | Type 6 (special/cup shape) | Type 6 (special/cup shape) | Type 11 (flared cup) | Type 1 (flat) | Type 1 (flat) | Type 1 (flat) | Wheel shape dictates working surface access: Types 6 and 11 are suited for profiling and face grinding, while flat Type 1 is versatile for general edge and surface work. |
| Dimensions (Diameter × Thickness/Width) | 150 × 80 × 32 mm | 150 × 63 × 32 mm | 125 × 40 × 32 mm | 200 × 20 × 32 mm | 200 × 25 × 32 mm | 150 × 20 × 32 mm | Different outer dimensions govern material removal capacity, peripheral speed capabilities, and machine guard clearance. |
| Abrasive color and material | White (99A) | White | White (99A) | White (99A) | Green (99C) | Black (98C) | White aluminum oxide is optimal for general steelwork, whereas green and black variants cater to specialized alloys and specific hardness requirements. |
◎ The suitability table below evaluates each product against various working scenarios, workpiece types, and workshop needs to help determine the most appropriate option for your equipment setup.
| Use case | Recommended product | Why |
|---|
| General heavy-duty metal removal on a 32 mm grinder | Grinding Wheel Andre 150 mm × 80 mm × 32 mm 99A46K7VE01-35 White (Type 6) | Greater width (80 mm) and Type 6 profile provide an extended working lifespan and convenience during intensive stock removal on compatible machines. |
| Similar tasks requiring a narrower width | Grinding Wheel Andre 150 mm x 63 mm x 32 mm, white, Type 6, MPN 520432 | Suited for the same machines and tasks but features a reduced width (63 mm), making it useful when clearance under safety guards is limited. |
| Precise tool maintenance using a cup wheel | Grinding wheel Andre 125×40×32 mm 99A60K7VE01-30 Type 11, white, MPN 520057 | Compact 125 mm diameter and flared cup shape are convenient for detailed tool sharpening and tighter working spaces. |
| Standard flat surface grinding on larger machinery | Flat Grinding Wheel Andre 200×20×32 mm 99A60K7VE01-35, White (Type 1) | Larger 200 mm diameter suits grinders built for bigger wheels, maintaining a stable peripheral speed. |
| Specialized grinding of hard alloys and specific metals | Flat Grinding Wheel Andre 200×25×32 mm 99C60K7VC01-35 Green Type 1 | Green silicon carbide abrasive is better suited for hard alloys and specialized metal preparation. |
| Compact general-purpose grinding with a flat black wheel | Flat Grinding Wheel Andre 150 mm x 20 mm x 32 mm, 98C60K7VC01-35, black | Smaller 150 mm diameter and thin profile (20 mm) with a black abrasive are useful for versatile light deburring and shaping. |
The grinding wheel Grinding Wheel Andre 150 mm × 80 mm × 32 mm 99A46K7VE01-35 White (Type 6) differs from the alternatives through its increased width (80 mm) and Type 6 geometry, making it the preferred choice for heavy-duty material removal and profile work on bench grinders with a 32 mm bore. A buyer should choose this model over the alternatives when maximum working volume and a specialized cup-shaped profile are needed for stationary equipment, whereas standard flat surface grinding or specialized alloy processing will benefit more from flat Type 1 wheels or different abrasive compositions.
