Aluminum Oxide Depressed Center Wheels Offer Fast Cut Rate
June 1, 2014
Norton Abrasives has introduced Gemini XXL aluminum oxide depressed center wheels. "Providing 50% more life and metal removal than standard aluminum oxide wheels, Gemini XXL works best on hard-grade carbon steel applications, weld repairs, flashing and jobs that require a quick turnaround," said a company spokesperson.
"The Gemini XXL 100% aluminum oxide depressed center wheels help metalfab users improve productivity and material output," said Debbie Gaspich, Norton Abrasives Director of Product Management, North America. "Gemini XXL's increased metal removal rates and improved overall performance make it an exceptional value when compared to standard aluminum oxide wheels.
"For example, in a field case study on right angle grinding long, light post welds, a 4-1/2 inch x 1/4 inch x 5/8-11 inch Gemini XXL wheel was tested against a standard aluminum oxide wheel on a 4-1/2 inch, 10 AMP grinder. The Gemini XXL removed 43% more material and performed 106% better than a competitive wheel for an annual savings of over $5,700."
Manufactured in the U.S.A. in Norton's Texas-based facility, Gemini XXL wheels feature quality aluminum oxide abrasive for enhanced performance. They are available in 1/4" Type 27 wheels in diameters ranging from 4-1/2" to 9" and heights of 7/8" and 5/8-11", ten SKUs in total.
