Description
The GW101 is a V-46 vitrified aluminum oxide grinding wheel for Weinig Rondamat moulder knife grinders in the standard 225mm x 60mm bore metric format. At 46 grit, GW101 is coarser than the GW100 (V-54) and is suited to rough profiling passes — when establishing the profile form in a new knife from flat stock, the coarser grit removes material faster and reduces grinding time before the finishing passes begin. The 46 grit wheel leaves a rougher surface that should be followed with a finer wheel (GW100 V-54 or GW112 ceramic) before the knife goes into service. In a two-wheel grinding workflow, rough out the profile with GW101 and finish with GW100 — this combination balances efficiency and edge quality across the full knife preparation cycle. Verify the width dimension from Schmidt before ordering: source data shows width designation as 197, which may indicate a non-standard dimension — confirm the full spec with Schmidt to ensure fitment on your Rondamat.
