9” x 3/16” x 1-1/4” V-54 Grinding Wheel — Wadkin

Description

The GW115 is a V-54 vitrified aluminum oxide grinding wheel for Wadkin moulder knife grinders — at 9” diameter with a 1-1/4” bore and 3/16” width, it is sized for the specific wheel format used on Wadkin knife grinding equipment. Wadkin machines use an imperial spindle format distinct from the Weinig metric platform; 9-inch wheels in the 1-1/4” bore format are specific to this machine family. V-54 grit provides medium stock removal with good surface finish — appropriate for profiling and final passes on HSS moulder knife steel. Vitrified aluminum oxide is the standard abrasive for HSS knife grinding across all grinder platforms: it grinds efficiently at moderate wheel speeds without excessive heat and maintains a free-cutting action as the wheel wears. For Wadkin grinders requiring an 8-inch wheel with raised hub, see GW130. Verify the wheel specification matches your specific Wadkin grinder model before ordering.
