Notes

Use for rapid removal of hard material such as steel and SS castings, etc. Of course, they can be used for general purposes also.

The heavy steel-core hubs can be re-threaded to right-hand, or used as is on all similar industrial threaded angle grinders, straight grinders or even the left end of a bench-type grinder; or buy a whole bunch from us and reverse the direction of portable grinders, with a lock screw threaded into it. This was perhaps done to make the wheels less "thievable", a common worry in labor-intensive industries.

These were surplus from Canadian Steel Foundry, one of the largest foundries in the world (up to 4000 men); we were lucky to get them when it closed down. This foundry could produce up to 200 tons of stainless in a single pour (sadly closed, though profitable, by Acheson, its US parent company!). The turbine impellers for China's Three Gorges, the largest dam in the world, were made here, and thousands of this type of heavy-duty grinding wheel would have been used.
