524 2x1/4 SC QC TR UNITIZED WHEEL

Wheels in our Standard Abrasives™ quick-change silicon carbide unitized wheel 500 series have a soft, conformable density, making them a good match for light-pressure blending, finishing and polishing on smaller areas of flat or contoured parts. When strict tolerances are required, these non-woven abrasive wheels offer operators the finesse needed to deliver precise results. Among Standard Abrasives™ unitized wheels, the 500 series provides the softest density, and is available in medium (MED) and fine (FIN) grade silicon carbide (S/C). The combination of soft density and sharp-cutting S/C mineral makes these wheels a good match for applications where a fine finish is more important than cut, such as polishing fillet areas on jet blades and soft metals prior to the coating process. Due to their conformability, these wheels are great for projects with strict tolerances, because they respond to surface irregularities. Our 500 series S/C wheels come in two options. Type 532 is an excellent choice for finishing applications. We designed the Type 524 wheel to better suit light-weight blending applications by constructing it with a higher density of MED grade S/C grain throughout the web material, resulting in a slightly more aggressive product. Silicon carbide mineral is a good choice for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including exotic metals and titanium, as well as composites. Standard Abrasives™ quick-change unitized wheels are available in smaller sizes with a TS or TR attachment. Quick-change wheels allow tool-free swap outs, maintain secure attachment at high speeds, and save operators time when switching discs between grades or applications. Easy fastening and swapping of wheels enhances tool efficiency and worker productivity. Choose the wheel compatible with your TR or TS holder pad. TR wheels have a nylon threaded male hub that easily threads onto TR or 3M™ Roloc™ type holder pads with a turn of the wrist, and the TS system has a metal hub that fastens to its holder pad with a simple twist. All Standard Abrasives™ TS and TR holder pads have a 1/4-20 female thread. A 1/4 in TA4 mandrel attaches the holder pad to the tool. Standard Abrasives™ unitized wheels are a great match for tough deburring, cleaning, blending and finishing applications. They come in a broad range of densities and grades to suit different metals, the degree of aggressiveness required, shape of the part and desired finish. Although used for some of the same tasks as Standard Abrasives™ buff and blend products, they are designed with a far stronger and denser construction to support more aggressive applications and accomplish material removal more rapidly. Even though unitized wheels are much stiffer products, the non-woven nylon fibers of the wheel maintain the advantage of responding to surface irregularities while preserving the geometry of the piece, and produce a consistent finish. Unitized wheels are created by starting with layers of open web material that combines non-woven fiber strands and abrasive mineral with a tough resin bond. These layers of web are then cured and compressed together. By fusing layers of open web, the abrasive gains more toughness and durability, so it can withstand repeated wear.
