TIERS:
Carbo Premier Red | BETTER
APPLICATIONS:
Typically used on carbon steel, stainless steel or aluminum for grinding anything from light surface finishing to heavy stock removal.
Carbo Gold | GOOD
Carbo White | STANDARD
CARBON STEEL – normally a depressed center wheel is used for cutting and grinding applications from heavy stock removal to rough
blending to prepare the work piece for its next step in production – typical accounts include propane tanks, military vehicles, farm
equipment, structural steel
STAINLESS STEEL – when working on stainless it’s important to remember there is more heat generated – typical accounts include
food processing, pressure vessels, hot water tanks, ship & rail containers
ALUMINUM – aluminum behaves differently from carbon and stainless in that it can load during grinding – typical accounts include
trailers, dry boxes, fencing, boat repair

WHEEL MOUNTING: Most wheel sizes come with a plain hole or a discard mount option. While the plain hole has a small, initial cost advantage, the discard
mount can provide a labor cost advantage with the quicker wheel change.
MINI-MOUNT HUB - Our unique, patented mini-mount hub used on 4-1/2", 5" and 6" depressed center wheels provides up to
30% more wheel life because the hub covers just a small surface area, providing maximum grinding area exposure and usage.
