Grinding wheels, also known as abrasive wheels or grinding discs, are tools used for various grinding and surface finishing applications. They fulfill several important functions:

Material removal: The main function of a grinding wheel is to remove material from a workpiece. The abrasive surface of the wheel, which consists of bonded abrasive grains, grinds away the material through friction and abrasion. Grinding wheels are often used to remove material, to level uneven surfaces, to remove weld seams or to shape workpieces.

Surface finishing: Grinding wheels can also be used for surface finishing. Depending on the grit size of the abrasive grains on the wheel, different surface finishes can be achieved, ranging from coarse sanding to fine polishing. Finer grits produce smoother surfaces, while coarser grits are more suitable for rapid material removal.

Shape and profile design: Grinding wheels with special shapes, such as disc-shaped or convex wheels, are used to create specific shapes and profiles on workpieces. These wheels allow for controlled material removal and shaping so that welders, metalworkers or fabricators can achieve the desired contours, chamfers or bevels on the workpiece.

Sharpening and restoring tools: Grinding wheels are often used for sharpening and restoring the cutting edges of tools. They can be used to sharpen blades, knives, chisels or other cutting tools to restore their sharpness and effectiveness. The abrasive surface of the wheel grinds off the dull edges and exposes new cutting surfaces.

Surface preparation: Grinding wheels are often used for surface preparation before painting, coating or welding. They help to remove rust, scale, paint or other coatings from the surface to ensure good adhesion of the subsequent layers. Surface preparation with a grinding wheel increases the quality and durability of coatings or weld seams.

Versatility: Grinding wheels are versatile tools that are suitable for use on different materials such as metal, concrete, stone or wood. They can be used with various power tools such as angle grinders or bench grinders, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
