8” x 1/4 x 1-1/4 V-54 Grinding Wheel with 5” Raised Hub — Wadkin, Foley

Description

The GW130 is a V-54 vitrified aluminum oxide grinding wheel with a 5-inch raised hub at the outer rim for moulder knife grinders requiring an offset configuration — specifically Wadkin and Foley grinder platforms. The raised hub positions the wheel face offset from the arbor flange, allowing clearance for the grinder head geometry used on these machines. At 8” diameter, 1/4” width, and 1-1/4” bore, the GW130 fits the standard arbor sizes used in Wadkin and Foley knife grinding systems. V-54 grit vitrified aluminum oxide provides a balance of stock removal and surface finish appropriate for HSS moulder knife profiling passes. Vitrified bonded wheels are self-sharpening — the bond fractures during use, exposing fresh abrasive grains and maintaining cut rate over the wheel’s life. Confirm the raised hub configuration matches your specific Wadkin or Foley grinder model before ordering, as hub dimensions may vary across machine generations.
