The Sait 24210 Type 27 Grinding Wheel is a premium abrasive solution designed specifically for the rigorous demands of industrial metal fabrication. Manufactured by United Abrasives/SAIT, a leader in bonded abrasives, this wheel features the proprietary "XA" grain formulation. Unlike general-purpose wheels, the XA specification utilizes a special aluminum oxide blend that is engineered to fracture cleanly, providing a consistent and aggressive cutting action on hard materials like stainless steel and high-tensile alloys.
One of the critical features of the SAI24210 is its contaminant-free composition. In industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and nuclear energy, the integrity of stainless steel is paramount. Standard grinding wheels often contain iron, sulfur, or chlorine fillers that can embed into the surface of the stainless steel, leading to future corrosion and "rust bloom." This wheel is manufactured to contain less than 0.1% of these elements, ensuring that the corrosion resistance of your workpiece is maintained throughout the fabrication process.
Structurally, this is a Type 27 depressed center wheel, the industry standard for angle grinding. The depressed center allows the locking nut to sit flush or below the grinding surface, enabling the operator to grind at a 15 to 30-degree angle without interference. With a thickness of 1/4 inch, this wheel is built for rigidity and durability, capable of withstanding the heavy side-loads associated with weld leveling, edge beveling, and heavy stock removal. The "Q" hardness rating indicates a hard bond, which helps the wheel retain its shape and resist wearing down too quickly, even when grinding sharp edges or rough welds.
The 24-grit texture is coarse and aggressive, designed to remove material rapidly rather than polish it. This makes the Sait 24210 an excellent choice for the initial stages of metal preparation where speed and efficiency are the primary goals. Compatible with standard 4-1/2" angle grinders featuring a 7/8" arbor, this wheel is a staple for any professional fabrication shop dealing with stainless steel.
