20002 - A24N Fast Grinding Wheel, Type 27, 3-Inch x 1/4-Inch x 3/8-Inch Arbor, 25-Pack

High-Performance Grinding for Ferrous Metals

The United Abrasives / SAIT 20002 A24N Fast Grinding Wheel is a premium abrasive solution designed for professionals who demand efficiency and safety. Engineered with a high-quality aluminum oxide grain, this 3-inch wheel is specifically formulated for fast stock removal on ferrous metals, including iron, steel, and heavy welds. The A24N specification indicates a softer bond structure; this design feature allows the wheel to break down at a controlled rate, constantly exposing fresh, sharp grain to the workpiece. This results in a more aggressive cut and reduced grinding time, making it an excellent choice for high-volume fabrication environments where throughput is critical.

Safety is paramount in abrasive applications, and United Abrasives addresses this with internal reinforcement using the highest quality fiberglass. This construction enhances the structural integrity of the wheel, providing resistance to breakage even under the stress of heavy grinding loads. The Type 27 depressed center configuration allows for a wide range of grinding angles, making it versatile for smoothing welds, beveling edges, and general surface preparation. With a compact 3-inch diameter and a 3/8-inch arbor, this wheel is perfectly sized for smaller angle grinders or die grinders used in tight or difficult-to-reach areas.

Manufactured in the USA, the SAIT 20002 wheel exemplifies consistent quality and performance. The 1/4-inch thickness provides a rigid platform for heavy material removal without the flex associated with thinner cutting wheels. Rated for a maximum speed of 18,000 RPM, it is compatible with high-speed pneumatic and electric grinders. Whether you are working in a shipyard, a structural steel shop, or a general maintenance facility, this grinding wheel delivers the speed and reliability needed to get the job done right.
